My wife and I am 35, and I in particular am very tech aware and work in a high tech industry. I could not be more indifferent to the internet features of my fridge. I do, however, greatly care about quality construction, clever features to allow it to store my food more efficiently, attractive industrial design, and reliability. So when I buy a new higher end model, likely within the next six months after we remodel our kitchen, I won't be looking for any of the features that you mentioned. On the contrary, I will avoid such pointless features because they add complexity and cost and reduce reliability. So there's my opinion from a focus group of 1.  |
x10000000!!!!
Shopping for a replacement car stereo for my truck because I really want hands free phone and would LIKE to have XM. Stunned at how much dumb crap major mfrs are trying to sell knowing it will be outdated by the time it hits the shelves.
Sorry Pioneer, Sony, etc....Apple has spoiled us all and you are not going to do anything better than them so stop trying and get back to basics!!!
