Design Exercise 11 involved researching and evaluating 3 Distinct Platforms of Digital Design. For my 3 platforms i decided to do the iPhone, a Samsung TV and a Sony Vaio Touchscreen PC. I wanted to focus on things i either already have or on things that i am interested in. I already own the TV and iPhone and am very keen on the Sony Vaio!
I was going to look at the newly announced iPad but i have already spoke about that earlier in this blog. So i have decided to look at a TV, specifically one that I own. The Samsung P2270HD.
I recently wanted to buy a new TV to use as a TV, Extra PC monitor and to play my Xbox 360 on. I needed something that was Full HD. I decided on this product.
The picture quality on this TV is amazing, especially when playing the Xbox 360 on it. Thanks to its many inputs it can display all kinds of different sources. I tend to use it as an extra monitor when i am doing work that i need to be closely zoomed in on. Running it in full HD enables every single detail to be clearly visible.
The TV cannot be hacked itself but any source linked with it can be. For example an Xbox 360 can be modified to play pirated games. Sky and Virgin boxes can also be hacked to view all channels for free. Modifying an Xbox to play pirated games greatly affects the video game industry costing it millions each year.
The hacking of programs and software could also greatly affect me in the future. if i am creating applications or software for certain platforms and people are creating and offering pirated versions for free it could end up costing me money.
