Technology

There were a few things that i found interesting in what we watched today in class. The first is when they were talking about the handles on peelers, which are very simple and dont get much thought. They went around and did multiple studies and looked into multiple ideas, just to improve the handle on a potato peeler. This seems like its alsmot dumb to put all this work in but if they users of the product like the changes then it will create alot of revenue. Another thing i found interesting is how much work goes into designing and manufactiruing what seems like simple everyday objects, such as toothbrushes, or chairs, or potato peelers. There are so many steps in this process and so many things that have to all go right to make these, not to mention the people behind the scenes brainstorming and coming up with ideas, all in an effort to advance technology. The third thing i found interesting is how much the inventors and the people in charge of this technology really look into even the smallest deatails. The one asian designer of that cell phone was talking about how part of the reason he designed it the way he did is because people like to play with their phones in their hand and pockets, so he needed to make a design that made that possible. Its crazy that designers look into things so much and look at even the smallest details that seem completely irrelevant, but i guess thats what needs to be done to further advance technology
