3-2-1 Ted Talk


In the beginning of the video, he starts out by talking about a specific scene from "The Blues Brothers" movie. This example showed how human beings get used to everyday things really fast. Following this example, he uses an apple and the little sticker that is on it as another example. We all just got used to pulling the sticker off and we do not even think about it. An example of a problem that was fixed was while he was working at Apple and they said charge before use. Steve Jobs came up with testing their product for 2 hours rather than 30 minutes so that when you get the phone it is fully charged and a higher quality. One example of a product that was not very well planned are Serial Wired Christmas Tree lights. They get tangled no matter what and it takes forever for them to be unraveled. Also, when one light goes out you have to find the source and individually change that light bulb. A second example is a motion sensor faucets. They do not always work and you have to constantly wave your hands to get it to turn the water on.
An example of a product that is designed well is a Bladeless fan. They are a safe and brilliant and efficient fan that does not make any noise. If you have kids it is harmless and they will not get their fingers caught in the blades. Also, it produces the same amount of cool air that a regular one.

  1. I agree with you about the motion sensor faucets being a not well planned product. They work occasionally, and not 100% of the time.
