I represent a studygroup from the Norwegian university of science and technology taking the course "technology-management" ,
http://www.ntnu.edu/. In this course our goal is to create a commercially viable idea for a product or service as well as evaluate it. To do this though, we need to know what other people think of our idea (this is where you come in).
In Norway we almost exclusively use mixed taps. However, in the UK double-taps (one for cold and one for warm water) are used. To us it seems unnecessarily difficult, so we thought maybe the UK has a large market for a simple device which connects the two taps into one and mixes the warm and cold water, thus cheaply & easily making it possible to wash ones hands in a comfortable temperature. So in that case, could you please take the time to answer 3 questions?
1) Are you Brits comfortable with your double-tap system?
2) Would you consider buying our device if it was released on the market?
3) Are there any obvious problems with our idea? The only problem we see is that most UK people can afford to install a mixed-tap system.
PS: Moderators: I thought since this was a technology-thread I could post it here, but feel free to move it if you absolutely think this is the wrong place.
