The Power Of Focus
Ok, some people have probably told you that you can’t multi task. Perhaps they said you had problems because you couldn’t multitask. No doubt they seemed a bit smug to you as well. If you can’t multitask well in todays world you can feel like a dinosaur. So its no surprise t

What would life be like without the remote control? Can you even recall the last time you purchased a TV, or stereo that did not include a remote? Unfortunately, it’s ironic to think that a device designed specifically to add convenience and simplicity to our lives could become a source of frustration and confusion. As remote controls became more sophisticated, electronics manufactures found that they could cut costs by eliminating buttons and features from the front panels of their devices. Their reasoning is that since all the function buttons are present on the remote control, they would be redundant by including the same buttons on the units themselves. They also assume that most people would prefer to use their remote controls, rather than walk over to the equipment rack to make adjustments.

All this seems reasonable, but there are times when the use of a remote control is not the optimal choice. In complex home theater setups for instance, adjustments often require changing the settings on several devices at once. This can become a real hassle if you must juggle multiple remote controls while searching for the proper buttons to push. Add to this the fact that most modern devices tend to “time out” if the proper button is not pushed within a certain time frame, and the frustration quickly mounts.

Unfortunately, the trend seems to be towards what I call the “Naked Control Panel”. I myself own several devices with control panels so sparse that you are required to use the remote control to make adjustments. You can not even access certain functions without it. Maybe I’m being picky, but you should at least be able to access all of a device’s functions without the use of the remote control! What if you loose the remote control?

Stripping control panels of their buttons in the name of higher profits is shameful. Don’t get me wrong, there are occasions when an uncluttered control panel is advantageous, such as in simple, standalone devices, or where appearance is paramount; but otherwise, removing the buttons from a control panel only degrades the overall functionality of the device. Sometimes it’s just a lot easier to push the button… If it’s there!

Transactional TV We predict the next pivotal event is the transformation of the passive TV into an interactive transactional tool. Consumers will not need computers to surf the Web in pursuit of buying products and services. They’ll be able to connect with the Web right on their TV sets. What makes this transformation possible is broadband technology. The magic of broadband technology is that, unlike narrowband, constrained by phone wires and modems, it brings high-resolution, full-motion, interactive video to the screen, images on the Web, for the first time, will be TV quality. The most potent marketing weapon.

Wall calendars are the most popular type of calendar seen in homes and offices. It is an ideal tool to schedule activities and set appointments. It serves as a means to remember holidays, occasions, festivals and other important events for a busy family. Calendars can be a very artistic statement added to any home or office wall.

We limit ourselves by believing that the way we live is the only way to live. If we want more out of life we have to see a bigger picture of just what is possible and a great way to do that is to learn from other people's experience as well as your own.
