Tailoring Cellphones for Teenagers
While many adults are always looking for the smallest, sleekest cell phones out there, it's much more of a fashion statement for teenagers. The NY Times looks at the process of designing mobile phones for teenagers. They talk about the importance of having a unique style and making the proper color and shape choices to try to create a fad. However, it's not just for teenagers that they do this research, since the teens often represent early adopters for technology that will eventually make it out to the rest of the market as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
