Solving The Problem
One problem I brought up earlier was the problem of Cold callers constantly calling relentlessly, even after telling them you would like to be placed on the DO NOT CALL list.
While going throughout your day this can become a bit annoying and a hassle. Although there are measures to take against this as registering on the national do not call list, it still does not seem to fix the problem. A product and service that would serve to protect this is a phone call interceptor. The service would provide to customers that the calls do not come through unless it is non robotic and not from landlines of calling centers.
The service would be provided to consumers on a monthly payment to prevent any cold calls from coming through their personal or work phones. When going over this service with colleagues many had agreed that they would pay for such a thing. The bases of the service would be an app that is downloaded on your phone that automatically detects callers that are affiliated with cold calling centers or cold calling landlines, as well as any caller that is robotic (“Robo Calls”.) This would ensure that only calls from contacts or real humans would come through.
Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteI completely understand the annoyance of having unknown callers calling you all day long. In fact, it was one of the bugs in my bug list. I think that your solution is appropriate, however, I would do further research because I think a similar solution to that problem already exists. Aside from this, I would just say that I think that the previous assignment and this one had to be of the same problem. Just make sure to pick one of two problems you propose to further explore in the next assignments.
