TheGwen

it occur to me yesterday, when i got my new LG phone for free. that i was expecting more, though not know what…. so i thought about it questioning to myself what was i expecting, Flying saucers?

hmmm….. so now i got a mission, i am urbanizing my new phone. WEIRD. WHAT!

yeah i shall post them up when i am done, but what i want to do, is take my phone apart, just the casing and then colorize them, decorate it in a urban art style with bright colors of my options, and then attach them back together. I mean why not! we are now entering that market where the gen Y are acquiring an income, and just like their forefathers the baby boomers, we want what we want. and we will break it, take it apart, and specialize the product then put it back together of course.

so below is an article about the technology business will become the user-generated business. It will no longer be about the latest technology but how to use the latest technology for human sake.

User-Centric Innovation

The development of UGDs is not being driven by the mass market, as in the past. Instead, innumerable “mini-communities” comprised of people who share the same interests as the developer have taken over. And this change will shake the foundations of the volume-production business model.

Since the birth of the electronics industry, there have always been hobbyists who enjoy making their own electronics kits and gadgets. Today, these are restricted to only a few fields, hard-core hobbyists all. The obstacles to designing and assembling handmade equipment are formidable, and as increasingly powerful functions make equipment design more complex than ever, users can access fewer elements of the final product. Worse, the key technologies implementing core product functionality are carefully protected manufacturer secrets. Users can only access a very few constituent technologies.
