Technology has brought us many of the conveniences we enjoy in our daily lives. And we can build a long list of such conveniences. For a city dwelling person almost every hour involves using some technology product that has arrived on the scene in the last ten years.
Often in the last 5 years and quite a few in the last year itself. If it is not a new product it is an improved product thanks to technological advances. Better science leads to better materials and better techniques and things keep getting better.
That technology makes life more comfortable is well known and appreciated. But the fact that technology makes our lives more affordable is sometimes missed out. If you look around and see today's cars the low budget cars perform equal to if not better than the high budget cars did ten years ago in the same car segment.
It is clear that the researchers know that there is as much value in making a product or service more affordable as is there in making its performance better.
Take for example the latest Comcast deals. These Comcast TV, Internet and telephone deals offer best in class services at an affordable cost. They leverage convergence technology to bring you the highest quality services for TV, internet and telephone. Convergence has been possible because all the three services have entered the digital age and the same digital cables can help delivery the various services.
Since instead of laying three cables just one needs to be laid the best possible cable, often a glass fiber cable is laid. Thanks to modern technology these cables can carry a very large amount of data. Therefore for the three services, even if they are being used simultaneously, the quality of service for each service type is still great.
There other savings besides the savings that result from the shared hardware. Since the hardware is shared the man power required to install and maintain it is reduced. The interest cost of the telecommunications projects are lower because the investment in infrastructure required is lower. The administrative costs are also lower since a single company now provides the three services. And you as the consumer enjoy the benefits of all these savings.
