Amazon echo dot research paper

Instruction:

This is the part you will find a trustworthy site or article to explain further on that point. It doesn’t need to be specifically about speakers or amazon. It just needs to be about that point having something to do with the emerging market in India. For example, making the product cheaper from cheaper plastics. Something like how water is made out of cheap plastic and 1 in 3 people in India don’t have fresh drinking water and with access to cheaply produced plastics like thermoplastics in water bottles is helping people have more access.

part 1

Product simplicity:

The simplicity of Amazon’s echo dot is in its feature that the experience of using it is almost entirely hands free. Although it has a volume and power on buttons the users experience is entirely voice based. This would give the user the ability to work independently of the applications. For example instead of having to pull up daily applications such as spotify for a daily gym routine. You could say “Alexa, gym routine”. It would automatically pull up spotify and any other applications such as a step counter etc without having to independently access them.

Part 2

Product portability:

In low income developing economies, people are grateful for having the basics of a product. The device has to always be plugged in and the only way to make it portable and not plugged in is to buy add ons such as special batteries or a holder that keeps a charge so that you can take it outside but, it still needs to be within wifi range and have some form of power to operate. One way the product could be more portable is using a different way to charge the battery; making it more mobile.
