Daily Mail: They are supposed to make our lives simpler. But it seems modern gadgets have become too complicated for their own good.
Research reveals that most of us would prefer devices including mobile phones and digital cameras that are more simple and easy to understand.
Nearly two thirds of consumers questioned in a survey said some gadgets had functions they did not understand – and never used.
Complex remote controls for television sets, DVD players and stereos were the least popular gadgets, with nearly two thirds saying they would choose a basic design instead of one with lots of extra functions.
Buttons that allow the user to pick languages, choose screen size and alternate between “first and second language” appear to be unnecessary and confusing.
