- Form or function? Both are important but which has the edge for you when choosing your phones, laptops, etc and why? I just buy whatever is the best for my price range - i.e. what is the best lens on a cheap digital camera. I can only afford to acquire what is in my limits, so I can’t make decisions on conspicuous consumption, yet!! 4. Phones, cameras and laptops have all got smaller, bigger, fatter and thinner over the years. What do you think the next trends in their design might be? Wearable. It’s a pain to carry these things around separately. They need to be combined into one consolidated handset that clips onto your clothes with ease. 5. Name the five most beautiful pieces of consumer electronics of all time in your opinion? I’m not sure I could name five but I did absolutely LOVE my first Walkman!!
