Is Technology Superiority limiting your abilities?
The acquisition of new technology provide consumers with tremendous advantages including increased productivity, enhanced communication and seamless mobility. However, at times being ahead of the game can provide some challenges. Technology Leapfrogging occurs when consumer purchases a device that is so ahead of the curve that it has challenges integrating. In layman terms, you’re new tech is too high tech. We have see examples of this when
- Google launched Google Glasses as a consumer device in 2013. A great concept that had many challenges. The UI was terrible, the connection unreliable, privacy concerns were a challenge and app development was minimal. Six years later and technology improvements have resulted in Next Gen versions of Google Glasses.
- In 2016, Apple notified consumers that it will be eliminating the 3.5mm audio jack and going Bluetooth. This caught some consumers and vendors off guard. Consumers complained that the listening quality of Bluetooth was significantly less.
Most recently, Microsoft not only unveiled updates to its existing devices, but also new devices that it said would redefine the industry. The slew of new innovative products included the Surface Pro 7, the Surface Laptop 3 and the Surface Pro X. Learning from some of the challenges of other Technology innovators, Microsoft has worked with some of its partners to come up with new accessories to compliment its new tech.
