Week 1 - Internet and the WWW

The product idea I have created is an application for Blackberries, iPhones and Androids in which the user can click on the virtual scheduler and be exposed to a wide variety of things from assignments to scheduling to locations of meetings.  The difference between this app and every other scheduling app out there is that this app will be audible.  This means that the user can simply click on the app then they will be presented with an option: "to do list" or "my daily planner" by verbally saying "my daily planner" the app will then ask the date the person wants to schedule.  The user then can say "Thursday, January 26, 2011" after this the user will be prompted to put the time in which they want to schedule their event and the name of the event without having to type anything or even look at the screen.

There would further be an extended options feature in which after entering date, time, name of event the user could verbally say "extended options" and enter the address, phone number of contact or email of contact simple by just using your voice.  Once complete the app will sync with the phones calendar and input all of the information as if it were typed in.  Another option within the app will be a feature that right as it opens you can click "hear my daily events" or "hear my daily to do list" so if the user is driving to work they can listen to what their day has in store for them or what they need to do. In the age of texting/email while driving we don't have any time to be out of touch, life moves fast and we have to keep up.  With an app like this people can quickly state the tasks they need to get done, the date they are due etc. while doing other things.

Efficiency is everything today and we really have to keep on the go.  This app, which I will call verbcal from now on would make so many peoples lives easier.  Many cold days when iPhone and Android users want to just have their gloves on they will have a much easier time accessing their calendar and inputting all of their upcoming events and things they need to get accomplished.  Through usage of the internet and twitter it will be my plan to advertise this new app.  Daily tweets to my friends about its launch and facebook statuses will surely get the word out.  Further technology will innovate this product to the extent that if I create a website to advertise it I can simply post the link to twitter, linkden,  facebook and all of my email contacts to really spread the word about this new app that will increase daily efficiency on the behalf of the user.

  3. I think in today's day and age people are so busy and society is becoming more and more lazy so this product would be a success, especially for business people who always have to be reminded of what appointments they have.
