Homework 4: “The voice of the consumer”
February 14, 2008 |
I looked up TiVo which is a recording device that obviously records things but it is quite special and interesting. The thing about it is that it records television shows and movies that are on television. I personally like the product because if I miss a game of some sort I can then look it up prior to the event and have the TiVo record it, then when I have a free moment to watch it I can. For example I missed the dunk contest for the NBA a few years ago so I recorded it then later that night I was able to go back and watch it. I found this in Kline’s book on page 114. What I found about TiVo is what I already told you, to further that though when I looked on the website (http://www.tivo.com/whatistivo/index.html) I found out some other things like how successful it has become and how helpful it is. I find it very interesting becasue it makes people who aren’t able to catch their favorite shows a chance to view them when they aren’t so busy. Now a days in America we have so many things we need to do, people have kids who have games and other events and can’t always be home to watch their favorite show, so TiVo makes it simple and affordable to have that oppertunity.
