I’m fine with that, Eric, but is there someone out there who is aching to huddle around the fridge to surf the intertubes or flip through a photo album? I’d be happier if Whirlpool had put a little more $$ into developing appliances that are a little more reliable, unlike those Kitchenaids that I’ve purchased.
C’mon, guys, get with the new millenium. iPod dock to listen to tunes while making dinner. Photo frame so you can have the pics your kids took at summer camp on their digital cameras cycling on the fridge. Tablet computer because, uh, you never want to be too far from your computer, right?
Not a fad, tho they may not end up staying on the fridge.
Being something of marketing-phobic myself, I meant that the question of “why” is usualy not particularly important, that is except in so far as it helps the marketing campaign. Build it. You can’t satisfy the stockmarket unless you are bringing new products to the table. Then find some way to convince people they need it. Got to have the sales.
If you works the other way round, find what people need, then develope a product to satisfy that pre-existing need, your company may well be successful on that first product. After that you’re toast.
The stock market rewards innovation and new demand. Continual new demand
I should have read the tag first. Then I would have guessed this was about technology. I was sure that this was about the weird feminist Christmas card that Schori sent to Bishop Iker and others
Dang! I am just now getting the hang of push-botton telephones.
I would think being able to attache ones ipod to the toilet would be more useful….there would be no chance of dropping it in by accident…..
I suddenly feel soooo old.
One word: Why?
Mr. J, remember- It’s not about a need, it’s about a sale.

You can read T19 while stuffing your face.

The modern version of the TV on the kitchen counter – welcome to the third millenium.

Didn’t somebody in 19th & 20th century public education theory & practice say something about keeping the masses entertained and ignorant?
Considering the fridge in my rectory, I would not complain.
