Products
should not be innovated just because of the word 'innovation'. Consumers
should be considered first even they usually select the wrong choice. Making the market appeal for the last
buck is very short-sighted. Too many examples:
* Boeing learned it the hard way by
reducing the sizes of the battery with new technology. How much it costs
the company (financially and credit wise) and how much it can save in
fuel? You decide. They should have tested it thoroughly. All those learned in college such as Alpha Test, Beta Test, QC 101... are lost due to the greed and the ignorance of the decision makers.
* Microsoft's Windows is a nightmare with a
ghost taking hold of my keyboard (should have two versions with one for
tablets), constantly asking me to upgrade (why so many upgrades...),
shutting down when my battery is about 13% (is the 12% of the battery
never used)... Did all the older programmers (over 45) leave Microsoft
who know how to do basic QC? The software is supposed to improve my productivity. How ironic!
* Do you prefer to have a car 10
years ago without all the today's problems (except the safety
features)? I need a reliable and safe car for basic transportation. I've
not used my cruise control for years and have never pressed the button
to fold down the back seats automatically.
* Those new versions of Apple phones only hurt our environment more in order to boost one's ego and 'social standing'.
