The success of Microsoft Corp's Windows 3.0 as a graphical user information has made evident the need for bigger, higher resolution color monitors. Taiawan's computer monitor industry, which with a 40% market share is the largest in the world, stands to benefit from this demand. Among the frontrunners in the industry is MAG Technology, already the 10th-largest in terms of production volume and sixth in terms of production value. Competence in both television (analog) and computer (digital) technologies has made MAG a strong player in the computer monitor industry.

Article Abstract:

Home electronics manufacturers have turned to interaction design and software-based systems to make their products more user-friendly. Interaction design involves the reconsideration of user needs in the manufacture of consumer electronics. However, a more immediate response to the need for coordination between product and user is presented by software-based systems, such as the VCR-Plus which allows users to program their cassette recorders by punching in number codes corresponding to programs. The codes instruct the recorder when to start or stop recording.
