To bring out a new technology for consumers first, you just had a very long road to go down to try to find people who actually would pay money for something.

I think we all realize the consumer has taken control, and they're not giving it back. So as every new technology comes forward, we have to figure out how to integrate it.
We are witnessing a seismic change in consumer behavior. That change is being brought about by technology and the access people have to information.
For consumers to benefit from technology, there has to be fair and open competition. Fair and open competition is the only course we know that can lead to meaningful innovation.
Just as producers often give consumers things they want but didn't think to ask for, consumers sometimes come up with surprising uses for new inventions. When a new product appears, it can uncover dissatisfactions and desires no one knew were there.
Consumerism is so weird. It's a sort of conspiracy we collude in. You'd think shoppers spending their hard-earned cash would be highly critical. You know that the manufacturers are trying to have you on.
We may have to force people to get together in terms of picking a particular type of technology and starting to build to that technology, as opposed to everybody exercising their right to buy their own system, you know, at will.
Taken as a whole, consumer technologies have made startling advances, but they still are not as easy to use as they should be.
I don't think people buy technology products because of the personalities of the people behind them.
Consumer electronics is a challenging one.
The rise of digital technology put marketers in a bind. No longer a captive audience, consumers were splitting their time across devices, social networks and websites.
