Scanning Computer Mice

The LG LSM-100 Mouse is Portable and Practical

— August 29, 2011 — Tech
With high-tech products decreasing in size and improving in practicality, it's no surprise to see the LG LSM-100 Mouse come into fruition.

Since technology is so advanced now, the ability to cram as much into one small object as possible has become a favorite design aspect in the industry. Following that concept is the LG LSM-100 Mouse, which has a built-in scanner. This can actually scan A3 size pages which is pretty impressive considering the small stature of this device. There's a Smart Scan button on the left side of the mouse which allows users to swipe over whatever is being scanned. The images can be saved into several formats which include PNG, JPEG, TIFF and BMP. If that's not enough, the scanned text can be converted into editable text in Microsoft Word.
Trend Themes
1. Miniaturized Gadgets - The trend of shrinking high-tech products to be more portable and practical opens up opportunities for innovative designs.
2. Integrated Functions - The integration of additional features, such as a built-in scanner in the LG LSM-100 Mouse, showcases the potential for combining multiple functionalities in a single device.
3. Enhanced Conveniences - The LG LSM-100 Mouse's ability to scan A3 size pages and convert scanned text into editable content highlights the trend of improving convenience and efficiency in technology.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The shrinking size and increased practicality of gadgets presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the consumer electronics industry.
2. Office Supplies - The integration of scanners into computer mice like the LG LSM-100 Mouse creates disruptive innovation possibilities for the office supplies industry.
3. Technology Accessories - The trend of incorporating additional features, such as scanners, in tech accessories like computer mice offers disruptive innovation potential in the technology accessories industry.
