Consumers Say- "No" to Faster Innovations and Quick New Gadgets!

Latest surveys have something to tell all the Manufacturers of gadgets and tech companies who make frequent updates and quick new innovations. The study that was done on consumers titled "Navigating the Product Mindset", in which nearly half of the consumers (48%) “Feel high-tech manufacturers bring new products to market faster than people need them.”

Consumers say that new products are released too quickly. Two-thirds of those surveyed also “feel manufacturers do not conduct thorough testing before launching new products.” Internet Marketing companies like Web Listings Inc. also have noticed that, people do browse for stuff like this when new updates come, but are often not seen impressed in their online reviews.

In other words, consumers aren’t anti-innovation. Instead, they’re against unnecessary and poorly thought-out innovation which, when you think about it, isn’t all that innovative. No wonder, people aren’t welcoming such “innovation.”

The New York Times blog have expressed that, 'the problem isn’t that innovation is too fast, but that genuine innovation occurs too slowly. To state clear, the new gadgets and “upgrades” typically pushed on consumers today aren’t substantial enough innovations to warrant the name. Consumers want substance-game changers, not marginal adjustments.

So it is understood that all those demanding consumers also want new electronics to work as advertised, without the bugs or glitches that so often must be dealt with by early adopters. Many owners of the new Amazon Kindle Fire are feeling these frustrations right about now. Many are seemed to return their gadgets unimpressed.
