I Love This (Redux)
I drove down to Buffalo today with a friend of mine to pickup a Sirius satellite radio. After four stops at the tech stores on the local strip, we finally found one. We were on our way out and decided to make a pit stop for some food. Been a long, tough day searching for a Howard Stern listening device.
All kidding aside, Sirius is a great service, and I can’t wait to get mine up and running.
Anyway, I made a post the other day about the copious amounts of technology making a life so much easier based on an example given by Rick Segal. I realized two things (thx for the key comment, "that gurl") when we stopped for food:
- Many folks would not shell out the dough in order to get all the really cool stuff going and maintained
- Many folks, although possibly interested, would not want to invest the time it would take for them to be able to learn to use it all
So I suppose moving forward, vendors need to think about a couple for parameters, which would have done them good to be thinking about all along: 1) Does it converge existing technologies (solving pain) and 2) Does it allow you to be more connected in an effective way.
It’s been a really long day, and it’s now just slowly winding down. Hope everyone is having a good weekend thus far.
