As the drive for innovation continues and consumers are increasingly on the lookout for smart and convenient products that will make life easier for them and solve domestic problems around them, most companies are becoming sensitive to these needs and are now tailoring their innovations to make life comfortable for their consumers.
Moore’s law is the name for the phenomenal increase in technological innovation that has occurred in the modern era. In 1965, respected computer scientist Gordon Moore noticed that the computational power of computers doubles roughly every two years. He projected that this trend would continue into the foreseeable future, and his prediction has held true in the 50 years after he made his original observation.
New technologies are great, but once something becomes popular there is an almost instant desire to improve upon it, and this continues until that technology is rendered obsolete by something new that replaces its relevant functions. This is why leading electronics manufacturers are investing massively in research and development in order to come up with new products that address consumers’ peculiar needs.
An expert in electronics manufacturing, Mr. Steve Ryu, said innovation is a necessity or human’s survival.  Ryu, who is also the General Manager, Home Entertainment division, LG Electronics West Africa operations said in almost every product sector that LG Electronics is involved in, the company is always looking for ways to develop new technologies and to improve existing ones.
“In the quest to build the next generation of televisions, LG has proven itself to be an innovator time and time again. The latest example of LG’s pioneering spirit in television design can be seen in how thoroughly the company has dominated the emerging OLED market. OLED is an exciting new technology that allows for televisions to display true black for the first time ever. The ability to create shades of black that were impossible only a few years ago enhances the color contrast in OLED images, giving them a vibrant edge. OLED is the future of television.
“We are fully committed to bringing next generation technologies to the Nigerian market. The next-generation display technology and the advanced ultra-thin depth of 4.3mm come with a unique curved design which represents a new era in home entertainment. It must be seen to be believed, he said.
Continuing, he said “to help users navigate the web on their television, LG equips all of its smart TVs with the simple yet powerful webOS 2.0 user interface. The internet age has brought about an explosion of new content. While past users may have been content to flip through channels to find something worth watching, it is rarely that simple for today’s viewers. In order to keep users from feeling overwhelmed, webOS 2.0 was designed to be as simple and straightforward as possible. Its large icons intuitive motion-sensitive remote control makes it easy for viewers to use their smart television to its full potential. webOS 2.0 even includes customizable photo backgrounds and supports the video chatting app Skype.
“Imagine a refrigerator that lets users know when certain foods are running low, or a robotic vacuum that cleans the house and provides a little extra security while the owners are away. LG’s groundbreaking new Internet of Things (IoT) technology has made this and so much more possible. In addition to making its appliances more energy efficient and user-friendly, LG has long sought to integrate its high tech operational breakthroughs into its entire line of consumer technology. The global scope of LG means that its engineers and developers across the world are always pushing boundaries, making progress and finding exciting new ways to implement technology. By using the internet to allow for instant communication between users and a wide range of devices, IoT transforms how users interact with their appliances. With its promise of exponentially increased connectivity, IoT has incredible potential to simplify our daily lives.
“With these technological advancement and how innovations are being embraced with bearing in mind its consumers by make life more comfortable for them, LG is foreseen to overtake competitors in the consumer electronics and mobile market.”
