The new naming system from Nokia
Do any of you understand the descriptions given by companies to their mobile phones? Actually, I never have understood and even managed to learn the name that has my cell phone. I prefer to meet their physical and I’m content with that. But for those who do master the names of the phones, I commented that Nokia will have letters in order to be known only by numbers.
Why would serve this change in the way of naming the Nokia mobile? For me, there would be no change in the end Nokia phones will remain regardless of the name that accompanies them. Well, apparently it is necessary to simplify the names only numbers for users and prospective customers have a better idea of ??the mobile which have or are about to buy.
For example, and I share this with people who are as clueless as I, with this new naming system from Nokia, the first number that appears in the name of a mobile is linked to the price of the product, while the other two numbers others highlight a unique feature of the phone. This also gives you the opportunity to present its model Nokia Nokia 500 with 99 new features, and not have to look for new names, because you can simply put a Nokia 509, Nokia 512, and so on until reaching the top 99.
Finally, I leave you with the reasons given by Nokia to set aside letters and numbers only choose when naming their teams:
Do not tell us what to do with our mobiles: Today, many phones are adaptable to various software and hardware, which means you can do a lot of things with them, without being announced for a given task. The ratings of Nokia were indicators, but often not related to what people did with their phones.
Difficult to compare: How to differentiate the C7 Nokia Nokia X7, or Nokia Nokia C3 C3-01. Which one is more expensive than the other?
People feel good about the numbers: Consumers understand the logic behind the philosophy of “the bigger the number, the more you get.” Moreover, as is a system used consistently over time, people learn to recognize roughly what to expect from a model cell using as a reference number that has a name.
Anyway, for me, will always be equal, numbers or letters, I will eventually get to know by what I see outside. That is, color, keyboard, screen ..
How social and ethical challenges in the progress of technology
To understand the moral dimensions of information systems is necessary to start from the social and ethical challenges that technological advances generated.
There are currently five moral dimensions which are:
1. there should be no personal record systems whose existence is a secret.
2. Individuals are entitled to access, inspect, review and amend the system that contains information about them.
3. Personal information will not be used for purposes other than those for which consent was obtained.
4. The system administrators have personal responsibility, formal and legal responsibility for damage caused by the reliability and security of systems.
5. Governments have the right to intervene in relations between private information.
Technology and information systems threaten privacy, which is the right of individuals to be left alone without supervision or interference by other individuals, organizations or government of individuals to make cheap, affordable and effective invasion.
