The new year is in full flow. The shops are crowded with year planners. Some quite small, fits in to the trouser pocket perfectly but some find it inconvenient as it has severe space constraint. They cannot write down their plans detailedly.The second one a lot bigger with plenty of space to note down things but can only fit in to the coat pocket and certainly not stylish. The third one, quite big made for the work table.
One had something which the other did not have.Quite irritating but people have to choose one and i certainly can say most of them chose one with which they are not fully satisfied.everything we use, we adopt to it rather than the product adopting to us. The Motorola cell phone i earlier used had the functionality of setting up 5 alarm timings. Got to wake up at 7:30, set a alarm for 7,7:20,7:30 and for emergency 8:30 It was a good function to have. But, the Sony Ericsson phone i have now allows me to set just one alarm time and that sucks. Suppose i want to wake up at 8 the alarm rings, I stop it and i think let me sleep for 10 more minutes ;-) i need not explain the risks involved.
May be this feature is not important for many people but this one particular functionality of the cell phone plays a big role in the lives of many people.And every product we use when we take a closer look at it does not have something we wanted it to have.
No matter what high end technology we have in our hand its not helping us out fully or solving our problem altogether. I think this concept of giving what the individual wants in his hand is not going to happen in the near future, as still there are plenty of things left in this world to be invented, modified, researched and so on. A time will arrive in the life cycle of the particular product when it reaches the threshold level and every new version of the product does not have much changes in it than the older one. Then, this concept of user defined technology or product will come where every customer is given a product which he has thought upon in his mind that would serve all his needs and his every single aspiration gets SATISFIED.
