Good vs. Bad

We had to find good inventions and bad inventions for an assignment and this is what I found. The "'Ove Glove" is a good invention because it makes it easier to move hot food while cooking. It's more innovative then a pot holder because it allows the user to have a better grip on pots and pans.

This is a bad design. The heat switches are above the burners. This can be quite a hazard considering you have to reach over the burners to change the heat setting. Nobody wants to burn themselves while turning down the heat!

The Deep Dive

Today in class we watched The Deep Dive. It was about an organization, IDEO, who redesigned the everyday shopping cart. I thought they did a great job not throwing out any ideas they thought were a little crazy, they welcomed all ideas because they believed that all ideas can branch off into something great. They designed a cart with a innovative child seat where the handle to the cart flips over them acting as a seat belt. The "basket" is made out of multiple smaller, removable hand baskets which can be removed making it easier to grab items. One of the last cool addition was the hooks on the interior frame of then cart, they are made so you can hang your bags on them without stacking them in a basket. Overall it was a very creative idea for  a cart.
