Second Screens
According to consumer data, the ratio of screens to computers that are bought exceed 1 which means that there are lot of people that have more than once screen for their computer. To be honest, there are some advantages to that such as being able to separate things while still seeing them at the same time. Some might say that it can get distracting but I find it great to be able to separate all the internet fax and email. Now throw this idea into TV watching or game playing and things get ugly in such a way where reasonable people start thinking that the sun might actually rise in the west. Enter the belief that second-screen technology stimulates audiences to behave in new and exciting ways -- that grabbing their phone or tablet while the TV is on makes them do things they've never done before. Researchers noticed. Suddenly, in-depth reports on second-screen behavior breathlessly concluded that people often do two things at once! That got everyone stirred up, even though the critical cause-and-effect part was missing. We've been here before.

I use dual screens in my business all the time. It enables me to work and communicate with people over video conferencing at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe double screens tend to save a lot of time when trying to write internet fax and doing all the regular work.
ReplyDeleteSoftware development needs to be able to keep up with the dual screen trend. It has shown to be useful.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are video conferencing, it is better to have one screen so that you are looking at the person you are talking with. Dual screen are better for other things.
