I have been watching this documentary called Objectified today. It is talking about the designs of manufactured objects. And here\’s some ideas that impressed me.
Design is to cater to the need of the extremes, the middle takes care of themselves. That is, as long as the product could satisfy the needs of both the weakest and the strongest, the majority would be comfortable using them as well.
And, the need of consumers is changing, they want more advanced stuff, they want more functions combined in one and they might also want the product to be sustainable. And we could never predict what people\’s next desire would be, or what the future world would care about.
The only thing that never changes is that everything changes. The documentary is definitely worth watching.
