Design in our lives

Low functionality is a design that is not compatible for humans and doesn’t benefit humans in general. My high functionality objects both help save lives and is human compatible. The help point is a push of a button and then u speak to the speaker and help is informed right away as well as, information is given right away. The four types of processor that is suppose to help an overpopulated planet and “XXXX_sofa” both are uncomfortable and do not help humans relax or consume food easily. I don’t quite know how to improve the four processors but I’ve suggested a few things for the sofa if possible.

All four processor I encountered at the museum of modern arts made any sense to me. Would you expect any one to wear these equipment’s? Would a little girl be able to even carry herself with the weight of this equipment? I may not be a specialist in this topic but I know when the word is over populated scientist will find far better equipment to process food or if not make abundant resources of food. Why not build an equipment or ingredient that grew abundant amount of resources so the world would never have to come down to carry these hideous non-ergonomics’ designs.

This equipment to save lives is a very useful. It may not be ingenious but it sure is productive. If every ship or boat had one of these Viking life- saving equipment, I guarantee at least one life would be saved if not more. This is useful equipment because the human life is priceless and to save just one is gratitude your whole life. The way the equipment faces towards moving water, so if a person was lost or abandoned the equipment would face them and would be save n it can be steered as well as, more then one person can fit. So I believe this equipment is of high functionality.

This electronic device that is planed to be in every station possible is a great idea. There are so many tourists coming in and out of New York City and every one of them needs information to get somewhere. There are delays of sick passenger and passengers that cause a fight. People wouldn’t be scared to go in the train at night. The violent crimes taken place in train station will be diminished in not lowered.

This interchangeable sofa is really not necessary. Why would anyone want to sit in such an uncomfortable sofa made of polyamide? There are holes in the sofa and just because u can carry it and interchange it in a different kind of seating’s doesn’t mean anyone would enjoy sitting here. That is the reason we have sofas, to sit and relax. What I’d do to improve this sofa is to use much safer material and interchange it like you do in the sense of play doh. But have a more durable and sustainable backbone to hold the sofa.

Hence, A design does not have to be highly functional to be useful; for example, the Viking life- saving equipment that isn’t so much factional but it helps save more then one life so it becomes useful. Isn’t that what ergonomically means? Compatible or human stability believe art and design are separate because art is to be seen and enjoy by the viewer, but a design is to be useful or thought to be used. The line is unfortunately when I saw the four processors they were neither designs nor art.
