Explanation:

A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.

According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;

1. Core benefit.

2. Generic product.

3. Expected product.

4. Augmented product.

5. Potential product.

The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.

Innovation typically involves the creation of a new product of any category such as automobile, building, phones, electronics, etc., that generates money for the innovators or manufacturers through purchase made by the end users (consumers).

Modern is the term used to describe an aesthetic (artistic goods or products) that emerged with technological innovations and through mass media and entertainment, avoiding any reference to past fashion, instead focusing on sleekness, banishment of frills, functional details, and performance and technical fabrics.

This ultimately implies that, the product isn't obsolete in nature but designed and developed to meet new tastes.
