I found this assignment difficult to think about because you genuinely had to challenge objects you use in your everyday life. By being an engineer, I have to be around a lot of electronics and a source of my problems throughout the day are related to electronics and electrical systems. Also, our generation is powered on instant gratification and portability, so there is always something around us that we find slow or unappealing. It is great to truly think about a product, evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, and try to find a way to innovate and make it better.
