3 interesting points

During this documentary there was multiple points that stuck out to me. First, and this was basically the whole plot of the film, how much design goes into each object that is made. For example, chairs. There are millions of chairs throughout the world and to design a new chair can be extremely difficult. You must add your own details to the chair while still making in unique and comfortable. One man brought up the topic of that are are millions of chairs but why are some still not comfortable. Isn't that the whole point of chairs or is it now turning into the design and look of the chair only. Second, probably my favorite part was when the people wanted to design a new toothbrush. Who would ever think, that much design and thinking has to go into making a new toothbrush. Who knows how much effort it would take to make a new computer or a new car. The toothbrush scene made me realize that technology is always growing no matter how big or small it is. It grows from cars and computers all the way down to a tiny little toothbrush. Last, another interesting scene was with the potato peeler. Who knew that a potato peeler is always getting changed. From one designer watching his wife have a hard time peeling a potato, he and his team changed the peeler completely to help those with arthritis. By doing this small little change, it made the potato peeler a lot more efficient to all. The main point I learned from this movie was, with technology you don't have to help everyone. If you design something that one specific group likes it will carry on down the line to where it can help all citizens.
