Here's a topic recommendation from 1 of our viewers which is the new smart cover from Apple.
Function:
- protects the display
- has magnet for attacment
- handy stand
- closes the cover, the iPad automatically turns to sleep mode.
- closes the cover, the iPad automatically turns to sleep mode.
- opens the cover, it automatically awakens the iPad to normal mode.
Anyway, Smart cover is definitely an unexpected accessory.
For me, I specially like the colors and also the function of restarting the mode of the pad, this function makes it so intelligent and I can forsee that this prodcut can become a real hit!Review back, the smart cover reminds me of the Paradigm shift - the change of perpective.
For instance:
Shift from desktop to pc/pads
- change form and size (Aha!! computers can be very thin indeed.)
- change form and size (Aha!! computers can be very thin indeed.)
Shift from survival to lifestyle (make your life more enjoyable)
In the past, our grandparents used to work for a living mainly.
In this millennium, we are thinking to make our life fun and glamourous.
Just like the smart cover, practicial is just not enough, blend well with the function with design, apply lifestyle to products to reflect taste and attitude.
As taught in the previous lessons, the business environment is chaotic (review chaos theory). It's very unpredictable and complex. Therefore, business cannot just depend on plans. Seek for opportunites anytime when there are changes, even if the firm is in bad situations. Maybe you can create a paradigm shift!
Probably something like from iPad to iWall where we can use in teaching, from a physical key to iKey so you need not carry many keys. So what do you think the future will be? What will be the paradigm shifts in the next generation? Share your view with us :)

Maybe the invention of the iPad is as the Chaos theory suggested, that it added new elements into the PC/Tablet market, or the cover itself is another new element added into the market. However we does not yet know what is the customer's preference and reaction, maybe on the day it is on sale, people find out that they don't like it?
ReplyDeleteIn fact, it is on sale right now, and the comments are pretty good so far. I think I should buy one and see if it's really that good.
ReplyDeleteThe smart cover (if we watch the video as well) is a handy and amazing design. It demonstrated the strong drive why change (design, perception and culture) in organization is key in contemporary business.
ReplyDeleteJust think of the new ordinance (turing off the idling engine when the car is not in use) --> any special cover that could be developed so that we could provide a green and comfortable environment for passengers and non-passengers?
