"Do I Really Need..." Proposal

This is my proposal for my television programme "Do I Really Need..."

Everyone wants to be up to date with the latest technologies, they want to have the newest, fastest most powerful peices of equipment. To an extent they are all just fashion accessories but effectively they aid how we live our every day lives. As quickly as something is released, something newer comes along and in this day and age its important to keep up with the changes.

I propose to make a consumer show which will in each seperate episode will take a certain piece of technology, for example the iPhone. It will take a look at the brief history, the pro's and cons of it, the alternatives and a conclusion as to whether you do really need it. The production will take both expert opinion as well as vox pops from the public to find out what people truly think of the technology in question.

Not only will my production aim to inform which technologies are best to have and where the future lies for them but it also provides decision making. In the current economical climate people dont want to be wasting thier money on flashy technology that will go out of date within a couple of months.

The programme is aimed at anyone from teenagers up to late 40's, the main consumers of technologies. It aims to be informative and will be delivered in a way that can be understood by all ages and isn't just filled with technical jargon aiming to impress/confuse.

From my production I hope it can help people of all ages looking to invest in technologies make an informed decision about which products they will go out to buy. It will be delivered in a relatively light hearted tone to keep it entertaining but will include all the facts and information required to keep it informative.
