Electronics took a major leap within the past two years. From cell phones to technologically advanced toys, electronics became the driving force behind social and corporate America. The most sought after brand was MAC. Both the iTouch and iPhone were ranked top ten among must-have electronics of 2008. These products not only became popular but demanded across the country. The reason that these products have CONTINUED to be highly demanded is because of their ability to retrieve information within seconds at a touch of a button. Because the iPhone and iTouch are able to download numerous applications it gives one freedom to communicate quicker and have their questions answered.
Children's toys have also made a huge impact within the market of electronics. Almost all toys are influenced by technology and one in which that has had a major influence is the Nintendo Wii. The Nintendo Wii has had much of the same affect as MAC within the past two years. It not only has given one the ability to completely control the game being played, but it now has it's own fitness program. Introduced in 2008 Wii fit has sold over 21 million copies and given a whole new meaning to the word, videogame. The content includes yoga, strength training exercises, aerobics, and balance games. One of the major factors that has contributed to these successful products is technology. Almost all electronic items found in 2008 and 2009 have been technologically influenced and made convienant, (fast, quick, easily accessable) to the consumer.
FUTURE: 2010-2012
Cell phones are one of the most popular electronics now and will be for a long time to come. It is because they are used so frequently that we are able to take a look into the future to see what new concepts have been in the works.
The Braclet Phone is just like it sounds, a phone that's a braclet.This phone includes an MP3 player and a diamond=like keystroke to read messages and answer phone calls. Though not much information has been given out about how this phone will operate, or what features will be included, it gives one a glimpse as to what may be the leading designs for the future of cellular phones. Another concept phone that may make it much easier for those who like a simple, more "practical" phone is the CUin5 mobi
le phone. Again, it's features are simple and inspired by the big firm's designs of a "super-practical" interface. Every face of the phone carries a keypad, microphone and speaker. Which ever part you hit first becomes active while the other parts automatically go to lock mode.
