The world has undergone tremendous technological advancements since the introduction of personal computers in the 1990s and the rise of the internet, which has become the backbone of today’s digital economy. The internet has become the third utility after electricity and water, with internet connection and access being an essential part of daily life.
We are now living in a world where there is continuous product improvement, with new products being rolled out every year or so. However, for most people, following vendor marketing and purchasing new products has become meaningless, as they do not fulfill any personal meaning or purpose. The key to successful product development is social acceptance, as new innovative functions need to reach the market and gain acceptance. If they do not fulfill any meaningful purpose, they are likely to be replaced by better alternatives.
This is why newer and better products may reach a stage where sales volume decreases over time. Even Apple, who invented the iPhone, the first smartphone that enjoyed great success, has seen a decrease in market share over the years, despite introducing new models every year. When new phones look similar to older models and only have minor improvements, people may opt to keep their current phones instead of upgrading.
While new phones may have better cameras and video output, they are still not on par with bulky equipment used for commercial and precision work. As such, prosumers tend to opt for bulkier equipment for these purposes. As the world continues to advance, there are more choices available, and things are becoming easier, thanks to artificial intelligence and robots.
In the search for meaning, one may notice that many products remain in excessive stock but never manage to sell. This is because better products are not always the answer, but rather products that fulfill a meaningful purpose for users. When a product cannot provide a meaningful purpose, the premium rate charged for it is not worth it, and cheaper alternatives are likely to take over the market.
Technology has also led to the extinction of many traditional jobs, such as underperforming photographers and artists. Many professions require refinement to enable them to continue to provide new meaning and sustain their existence. Travel is enjoyable, but for those who need to carry a lot of gear to take photos and control light, it may not be as enjoyable. As technology continues to advance, everyone can take good enough photography and video, and those who depend on it for a living will need to search for new meaning.
Technology works in the same way, with many vendors failing because better and cheaper solutions are invented and rolled out each day. Unless vendors can refine the meaning of their products, they are likely to fail.
