Crazy Invention

Recently in my N100 class we discussed the advancement of New Media product design. One product in particular had one of the most poorly designed commercials I had seen. It was basically table sized iPhone but designed by Windows. It allows for people to transfer data to each other by laying their phones on the table and moving the data with there fingers, plan out routes on roads, and pay for dinners, all using a large touch screen. 

The problem here is that the product obviously isn't designed for home use. Something this big is more designed for a restaurant, hotel, or cafe. The thing costs about 10,000 dollars to own. The commercial, however, aimed it as something built more home use. 

The fact here is that when you create something, you have to watch how you advertise it or people get the wrong idea about what your product is designed for. For home use we already have the iPhone. We don't need a big table to plan out a route to the cafe.
