Living in Digital Times Presents Silvers Summit at the 2014 International CES

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 23, 2013

Living in Digital Times announced today that Ford Motor Company will present the opening keynote address at the Silvers Summit at the 2014 International CES®. Keynote speaker Sheryl Connelly, global head of trends and futuring for Ford Motor Company, will present an exclusive insider’s look at how global trends are impacting the boomer and aging populations.

Companies including Microsoft, ADT, BMW Group Designworks USA, Qualcomm Life, Lively, GreatCall and Independa are just a few others on the agenda that will showcase how they are meeting the challenges to create products and services for this audience. And card carrying AARP members will judge the results of a product competition for this audience.

With 78 million baby boomers in the U.S., this demographic holds 70 percent of U.S. disposable income and spend the most on technology.

“Technology is constructing a new vision of what it means to age,” said Robin Raskin, Founder of Living in Digital Times. “Baby boomers and seniors have the free time, disposable income and passion to demand that technology be curated for their lifestyles.”

The Silvers Summit will explore new technologies in health monitoring, home security, communication, and social media. Trends and insights about the internet of things, robotics and mobile apps will also be explored in the context of this unique audience.

“This year’s Summit will also take a sharp look at barriers to market entry,” said Jill Gilbert, producer of the Silvers Summit. “Why for example, are the boomer and aging markets drastically expanding while widespread consumer adoption is still unrealized? By coming together at the conference, we will create momentum.”

“The 50-plus age group is connected like never before to what is going on in the world and to other generations, swept up by technology and global trends that are far-reaching,” said Sheryl Connelly. “It’s an exciting time to be a boomer because innovation and creativity continue to change the nature of our daily lives.”

THE DIGITAL AGE- DIGITAL SIGNAGE

Introduction

 

There are arguments about the forms of promotions a product should follow. The presentation of the forms is also important and in this cacophony of importance the prime issues are sometimes forgotten. There may be debates about the content of a promotion but presenting medium of that promotion is also important. There are visual medium, audio or print which is a part of the visual but is considered a separate one. Similarly moving pictures and still photographs cannot be put in the same category though are part of the same medium. The factors are serious issues both to customer and target consumer so that a later day cat fight does not start among the concerned parties. The objective of a promotion is to generate maximum revenue from minimum investment and to get that the analysis is done so that it is finalised whether a place can be promoted through Digital Signage or Banners and Signs. 

 

Description

 

Putting a promotion appropriately in a medium is tricky. Some formulae that work in a medium do not guarantee the repeat success in all other mediums or forms of the mediums. So a person should have a thorough knowledge in the particular domain to be productive and be a success. The yields are different in different forms. The discussion on mediums continues and all are participating. Some of the places are not suitable for Digital Signage but are appropriate for Banners and Signs . The issue is to identify some theory that works.

 

For choosing a way of display it is imperative to go through a planned and methodical survey or scrutiny of the locality under focus. The factors that are needed to keep focus on are the annual income of the locality, population purchase capacity, educational progress the locality has made in a given period of time, whether there is any record of social unrest or the number of high income people. Caution is needed for the secrecy of information as all of these can be sensitive information and more important than putting  Exhibition Stands .

 

Depending on the above data decisions are taken. A company is not willing to spend high amount in promotion when the purchasing capacity or the returns from that area is not promising. Every promotion is about business and if that is not generated high end promotions are not worth. The options are then to Banners and Signs or exhibition Stands.

 

By character Digital Signage is different from the other two as both of them are physical promotions but this one is purely digital and though it has own logistical problems but the ways of use are more convenient and the displays even can be controlled from a remote place to alter as per the need of the hour. The other advantages of this display is that it can have moving narrative in the body to get a clearer message or promotion for the viewer, in clearer words even short ad movies can be put in the display and the sequence can also be controlled so that most impact can be made from the ads.

Easy display is leading manufacturer and exporters of Banner stands and Glass display cabinets.

Images in Discounted Digital Board

They say, a person’s attention span is dwindling as technology progresses. Mainly, we are experiencing advancements in technology just because the human mind is demanding for more. The human mind has always wanted to make things better and make work a lot easier. This is why for most of us, technology races with lour minds. Whatever the mind could imagine, technology works double time to make it possible.

Right now, the World Wide Web is already considered as the marketplace of ideas. It is filled with various pieces of information that is shared with the entire humanity with just a click or two. However, the internet is not similar to our good old encyclopedia. The encyclopedia that is loaded with text and have less pictures. Nowadays, there is no such thing as text-heavy websites. Web pages are now created with as much picture as possible. A picture says a thousand words; this makes it more powerful than the written word, plus the fact also that many of us could not stand reading text heavy entries nowadays. Everything should come with a picture or else no one would take interest in reading it.

This is exactly what we should do when we are reporting something. Whether the report that we are making is for school or for work, it is better if we could embed some pictures in it. Pictures make everything more interesting. It is also because of pictures that most people nowadays could understand better the things that you are discussing. Pictures and other graphical tools are also the reason why slide show presentations made it big nowadays. However, for professionals, they find slide show inadequate. If only they could combine the ability to embed multimedia in slide shows and the spontaneous effect of the old fashioned white board, then it would be perfect.

Well, wish no more, for discounted digital boards are already here. It is a dry erase board that also allows you to include clip arts, pictures and other graphics in your present. It also allows you to import your computer files, annotate them and include the changes in your printed handout! You could even include your slide show presentation in the digital board! All of these could be electronically captured in vivid color in order for you to save, print or email them in various file formats in an instant. It is that fantastic. Discounted digital board makes reporting more versatile and easy. It put the ease in presentation making it more stress-free and insightful all in one blow.
