#Person1#: Could you suggest some ways to bring family members closer together? #Person2#: Well, I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals together. One of my good childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both worked and our three children were busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we tried setting fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone told his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see the evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other's problems. After a couple of months anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now we all feel than we have been able to build stronger relationships within the family that we had before.

Marketing: So So I am going to have a presentation about the market about what people think we did a usability labtest with a hundred persons And we looked at several things among them design d d how d did they like the use of it what frustrations they had while using remote controls well what what will be our market And we asked them if we had some new featu features If that would be a good idea or not Well our findings our users they disliked the look and feel of current remote controls they especially found found them very ugly And th they also found them hard to to learn how to use it well they also zap a lot So zapping should be very easy And fifty percent of the users only use ten percent of the buttons So a lot of unused buttons There is more findings on the buttons Which buttons find users very important and which which not ? And how much would they use them ? Well the most used button is the channel selection And we asked them how relevant they think the buttons are The power volume and channel selections are very relevant teletext is less relevant but also important not important they found the audio that is not the volume but specific the the pitch or the left or right the screen and the brightness And channel settings th and they also are not used very often Then we have a few graphs about the market here we can see what the market share is of several groups as you can see most users are between thirty six and forty five the the the younger group between sixteen and twenty five is not very big And to come back on the the swapping things I do not think I I think the younger will be most interest in it But they are not a very big group in the we asked them how would you like a s a new feature If you have an LCD on the remote control what would you think of it Now you can clearly see young users say I will that would very nice And older user think they will be scared of change I think And they will not like it And another thing how would you like to have a speech recognition on it Well here we see the same Young users think that is an interesting idea And old users not well we found out that there are two several markets at which we can aim the first are the younger the age between sixteen and forty five they are highly interested in the features as you can see here And they are more critical on their money spending the second group is the older group Aged between forty six and sixty five They are less interested in new features But they spend their money more easily Now if we look back at this graph we can see that among the first group is about sixty percent And the second group about forty percent So the the first group is bigger Well then I come to my personal preferences the first question is also we have to ask is at the which market do we aim at of course n saying we aim at the young group does not say that old people will not buy it But less of them will buy it well I What I thought even young people say it is hard to use remote control So if you make a remote control that is very easy to use that is especially aimed at this group even the young group will also be more interested And we can make special features But I think it looks nice in the first time But when use it I do not know what is good thing of speech recognition well th that is my second point less important functions should be discarded from the remote control It is about discussion we had earlier You can find most functions on a TV set So you do not have to have a lot of audio options or screen options to change the brightness And such things well the design is very important One thing I did not say I think is that a lot of users also said then I would buy a good looking remote control if there will be one But they found most remote controls very ugly So the design of our remote control is very important And it should be very zap friendly as most users use it for that That were my findings
Marketing did a usability lab-test with a hundred people and found that users disliked the ugly look of current remote controls and the market segmentation includes different attitudes towards new functions. Users felt it hard to learn new functions and they zapped a lot. The channel switch was the most popular function while the power, volume and channel selections buttons were very relevant. The market was to be segmented to different groups and most users were between thirty-six and forty-five years old and young users had different tastes about the LCD compared to the old. The speech recognition features were welcomed by the second largest group, the young but which group they should targeted remained to be discussed. Marketing concluded that less important functions should be discarded and the device should be user friendly.
