The design of the Electrical Objects app (another private art network) and website is definitely alluring, but the frame just doesn’t quite match. For starters, a major bummer is that the frame doesn’t include orientation configurations. See the note below form their FAQ:

Does EO1 support landscape orientation?

Not really. All of our software and most of the art is designed for a portrait display. However, no one could stop you from hanging it sideways and displaying landscape work.

A cool factor is that you can upload your own art through app and you’re also able to display an entire website on the frame. I’m thinking YTMND 24/7. What do you think?

What will happen to brands in the foreseeable future will they be exactly the same or will they differ or will we all be purchasing products on their merits rather than how we feel emotionally attached to them in some way.

When we buy a branded product we usually do so simply because we have some preconceived notion of a item or service. This has commonly been formed from seeing, listening to or reading through an commercial or somebody telling us about the item or service.

Brands have been round since the early nineteen forties and fifties. For making a model stand out and achieve trust from a purchaser. This brand loyalty took from the neighborhood shop culture. Back then on a high st where neighborhood trades by name which nonetheless exists these days and is the basis of all commerce that we do business with each other and their individual reputations. A brand creates belief and if done effectively changes our perception of items and services.

The technology sector is fairly diverse from say food or apparel given that most high specification items are offered on attributes. Some shoppers evaluate the attributes of products one versus the other before they buy these are termed as techno specialized or savvy shoppers. Considering that there are an increasing number of goods in the market place and all of us are using and buying more of them I think the market place is going through a type of education and learning. Could possibly be the days are numbered when someone will turn around and say I do not know what it does I just order it because it has this brand on it.

I believe this will alter over time and will result in more educated buyers of technology. The world as we know is changing at an extremely swift speed it really is becoming increasingly the world wide village. We can interact with each other faster and simpler than ever before. Logistics are shifting at a really fast rate as of late parcels can be delivered in a matter of weeks or even sometimes days as opposed to months.

I feel what could happen in the foreseeable future with the development of the world-wide-web are traders who stock technological items but have their name above the door to grant the trust. Just like what it was like on the high street but instead on the web with unbranded items offered for functions backed by the merchants promise.

Buyers now have come to realise that most technology equipment are exactly the same inside as others and that the truth is the speed, functions and the reliability are crucial issues to them. Customers have maybe gone through a brand experience with an product and found out that it had been or was not dependable or value for money of a buddy or colleagues.
