Ever since Squanto was a child, he have seen white people. He made friends with them and even went to england with them. But when he decided to come home on another ship, he got sold into slavery. He was bought by monks, who tought him to read and write. They told Squanto about the history of white man's and he didn't like it, because he was terryfied of what the white man did for the welth. One day, Squanto finally got a chance to go home. At home he found that his whole tribe had died ot, because of the dedies. that white people made. Then Squanto remembered about the greatest treasure of his tribe, he decieded to guard it. Then the Pilligrims came and he met Robin and he recognized his ring. Squanto showed Robin the secret treasure: now the future of the New world is in Robins hands.
I remember when I was a kid and the TV remote control consisted of the numbers for the channels, the power button, and the volume buttons; that was it. Now there are buttons for everything including a menu button which allows you to fine tune even more options. Check out this slick new remote
What other devices can you think of? My microwave has two settings defrost and cook? pretty self explanatory. You turn the time knob and presto the microwave starts whirring. Granted, I got it in college and not much else I could have done with it then? but I go over to other peoples houses to use the microwave and I feel like a technotard searching for the GO button. Another device that pops into my mind is my cell phone. Just when I think I got all cozy and feature happy with my Nokia, I go to get a new cell phone, and it takes 5 minutes just to find the talk button!
Here is the catch, as more and more appliances are unified or professional features are brought in to the home, the devices become more complicated. Manufactures have to strike a balance. They have to pick what features a consumer would most likely want to use and put those in the face of the customer first. For example, on your digital camera, how many of the settings do you actually use? Or on your TV? Or when was the last time you played with all the options on your receiver or tweaked every desktop setting on your computer?
I dont see the trend of high end features making their way in to consumer devices slowing down anytime soon. More and more devices are coming our way with a myriad of features. So, what is a consumer to do? For the most part we have to become pseudo experts. This is having very limited success. For example, I?m pretty sure that I have my home theater system set up correctly, but unless I have an expert come in and show me, how am I going to tell? Also, most consumers need to RTFM. That is a given. But, those manuals are getting thicker and thicker. And why should I have to learn all about every setting on the microwave, just so I can heat a burrito? The buttons should be clearly marked and with only the few choices a consumer would actually use!
