Recently, media reported that more and more customers go to home appliance stores to buy "universal remote control", either empty handed or fake. Experts said that the universal remote control could not be applied to all electrical appliances. In fact, this news reflects from one side that consumers have a great desire for "universal accessories". In view of this strong consumer demand, some commodities or accessories are more compatible. Why not?
     The compatibility is not high. Some accessories for the purpose of "convenience" are not "convenient". Think about it carefully. Air conditioners, televisions, DVDs, stereos... All need remote controls, and each household appliance needs one. In this way, there must be multiple remote controls in a room, more than telephones.
     It is understood that the normal service life of the TV is more than 10 years, but the TV remote control is used frequently, easy to break, well protected, and can be used for seven or eight years, most of which can only be used for three or four years. After visiting several major electric shopping malls, the reporter found that it was very difficult to buy the remote control of TV and air conditioner popular a few years ago - the reason is that the shopping mall had not sold the electric appliance for a long time, let alone the remote control matching the electric appliance. According to the calculation that each family in Shanghai has three remote controls on average, the market capacity of remote controls in Shanghai is as high as 15 million. The direct consequence of the serious contradiction between supply and demand is that poor quality remote controls flood the market.
     It's not just the harm of counterfeit goods. If you want to drive again, the parts are incompatible, and each manufacturer produces its own, which is undoubtedly a great waste of social resources. Nowadays, mobile phone chargers are not compatible between different brands. Even different products and accessories of a brand are incompatible with each other. If you change a mobile phone, you have to update the charger together. The same is true of ballpoint pens. The appearance of ball point pen is various. Although it looks good, the refill inside is also changeable. Later, after a ball point pen ran out of oil, the pen became invalid together. In this way, there are a lot of pens and chargers thrown away. The material waste in the production of these goods alone is very large, not to mention the cost of time and manpower required for production.
     In fact, the demand for "universal accessories" is so strong, why don't businesses aim at this business opportunity? Instead of spending more human and material resources to study new products, it's better to "drill in", study the lesson of "universal accessories" and improve the compatibility of accessories. Can't we have more consumers? Even if we can't really achieve "omnipotence", even if it is "QianNeng" and "baineng", we should put the needs of the people in the first place, and the products will be marketable.
