Is this a marketing stunt or do Philips products really contribute to simplicity in life?" Simplicity, or more appropriately the ability to do more with less, is growing as the leading differentiator among technology products. In an age where everything contains a microchip with some sort of technology embedded, more and more emphasis is put on usability and overall user experience.

They have a muiltitude of features. The shift to simplicity, or usability, is the result of this added complexity. If todays products are not simplified, there is no point to their existance as most people will retaliate by not buying complex products. People will always choose to purchase the most intuitive and usable products. Simplicity in the user experience is the future, not just a trend.

Companies shouldn't have to advertise simplicity, it should should be evident everyday in their products. Companies should not just strive for simplicity, but actually deliver on it in the final product. (67% of 12 votes AGREE) More conclusions from this category Is cash necessary anymore?
