Being heard!

Without voice we wouldn't be able to speak and every voice creates a sound. Sound is essential in life due to the fact that without sound we will not be aware of is around us. The creation of sound can be expressed in many ways like sound and speech. When someone speaks or sings there is always a message and meaning behind the words.

Commercial advertisements always utilize jingles to make their brands standout. Radio advertisements use scripted lines to explain in detail about their brand. The similarity about both commercial and radio advertisements is that the audio portion is what makes the commercial more affective than the images that display.

The audio in these advertisements can not only help promote my brand and my idea but it can also help me get others to be aware of the fact that this tool should always be considered for many cooking businesses. The fact that you can connect audio to a video, and transmit audio through a radio can be an advantage for this product.

Photo shopping a dream :)

According to BusinessDictionary.com, Photoshop can be defined as "an Image editing software developed and manufactured by Adobe Systems Inc. Photoshop is considered of of the leaders in photo edition software. The software allows users to manipulate, crop, resize, and correct color on digital photos."

I feel that every product that is advertised has been tweaked by Photoshop or created on Photoshop. Photoshop has been a hit for many of years and has been the #1 place for photo editing. Although editing pictures may seem like its hiding its flaws and highlighting its strengths of a product, I believe that its only an edit that can suit the dream of a person by redefining its beauty.

For my model of a smart conventional stove using a digital picture of a simple regular stove can be my foundation to creating my dream stove. From my foundation image i can use programs like Photoshop to redefine the image and add my ideas and creativity to create my stove. Although Photoshop can be a bit complicated i have the patience to figure things out and really get what i want done.

Hardware?

Every machine in the world of technology has some sense of hardware that keeps it all together. For a computer/laptop, the system unit contains many electronic components that processes data and other information. A computer has many components like the motherboard, the processor, the control unit, a memory port, etc. At times people can break down a computer and rebuild it with their eyes closed.

As for my idea of a smart conventional stove there are definitely many electronic components that it consists of. Unlike the simplicity of a computer, this machine will be much more challenging and complicated to build. With this stove the electronic component will consist of many formulas in its memory to remain a sufficient tool and it will consist of an activation of temperature and sensitivity control. Both temperature and the sense activation are the main components of this idea because it is responsible for matching the food with its correct temperature and then activate the voice.

Although a computer hardware is completely different to that of a stove there are still similarities amongst them. It is important that this idea is not so much a computer but a cooking tool. Its hard to understand what exactly is needed to build this machine but since its a combination of both a stove and a computer, we must contact places like General Electric who create many things with technology, like stoves and computers.

Excel Worksheets

Who uses a calculator, a pencil, and paper to add up their budget and expenses anymore? Technology not only has made things easier to record simple math equations but it has also made things much more organized and simple. Microsoft has exceeded in many levels to provide businesses with a way to make sure that everything spent within a budget more manageable.

Microsoft Excel spreadsheets are being used everywhere to organize data, manage budgets and expenses, create working schedules and much more. One major pro about using Microsoft is that once a person has trained to use excel correctly they can simply look and analyze any spreadsheet and understand the purpose of it. Of course things can get confusing and a little unclear on an excel sheet with functions and formulas but that is not something that can not be taught.

I look forward to use Microsoft to track how much money Ive spent creating and marketing my product. I will also be able to make sure that I stick to my budget. I can also use excel as a tool to put together charts and graphs to show the progress of my product using statistics off of a survey that can be handed out to my potential consumers as well as employees and competitors.

Twitter

In marketing there are so many ways in which businesses can promote their projects. A lot of the times the most thought of marketing tools are commercials, fliers, newspaper advertisements and word of mouth. As competition has uplifted and become more intense in our economy these marketing tools are not only expensive but they are also doing so much for the business. As time passes by and as we progress technology has played a major role in advertising businesses and their products.

One huge new way in which businesses can promote their products is through both Facebook and Twitter. Twitter has made a huge impact on a lot of businesses and products in the marketing. Twitter is "a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read other users' messages called tweets." (Wikipedia, 2010). Twitter is easy to use and everyone uses it for a variety of reasons. It's free and businesses take advantage of the opportunity to promote and receive feedback on their products or services.

With my creation of the stove, in order to really put my idea out there and promote it I will most definitely use Twitter as a one of my marketing tools. Everyone uses twitter and everyone is always looking for something to talk about whether it may be negative of positive. For me to use Twitter I can catch a certain target market and that is the Food market. Not only would Twitter help promote my product but it can also give me the ability to receive constructive criticism as well as positive feedback. I will also be able to see what type of competition I may have and use competition as a way to make my product more successful and more improved than what is already out there.
