‘I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use,’ Steve Job said.
People are really looking forward to the TV that come from Apple. Due to the success of Apple's ipods, iphones, and iPad. They are all simple and easy to use which with a big screen and without a lot of buttons. People are hoping they will have a bigger iPad hang on their wall and perform a perfect fuction of TV.
However, are the TV now really not userfriendly? Are they really hard to use?
TV is a really easy to use device, they are a big screen with an on and off button. Also, they have a remote control with numbers on it. Their design started with simplicity. The reasons of the 'hard to use' are these days there are more stuff connected to the TV, therefore TV become a complicated device. They are connecting with DVD players, recording machine or cable box. Apple keep promoting touch screen deevice. People of cause are expecting more in their life, they are willing to have a touch screen TV.
Someone thought of why not using a computer, they contain eveything in a box. Why not making them with a bigger screen and with less button on the keyboard. The fact is different device are profession in different function, like computer is profession for internet or document editing. A tv is for watching dramas and movies.
If there will be an iTV come out, I will prefer it a big flat screen TV. Which it is touch screen, but still have remote control. TV will be included all the cable box, dvd players. I know it may not possible in this stage. But who knows will it come out in the next 50 years while technology is improving.
Have you think of your own iTV? What function do you want it contain?
