Design is everywhere

Yes. Everywhere. Even in your tea bag pouch.

Have you noticed the small cut in your tea bag pouch that is provided so that you can tear open the bag easily? When you face the front of the tea bag, it is on the right side.

Except for left handed people, this is actually not the ‘convenient’ side to tear. Without thinking we turn over the side and tear from left to right (using our right hand).

Do you now notice that, when you do the above action, the instructions on how to brew your tea is staring at you ! That is design.

Steering wheel desk

I was recently shopping online for a portable laptop desk. After a recent surgery, I have been contemplating not to work in a sitting position for too long at home (at work it cant be helped, but I can try at home). So I wanted one of those desks that you can keep in front of you, and stretch your legs underneath it – so I can work comfortably on the bed. Yes I found one.

In the same context, I looked at this, and was totally impressed. In this age, if there is a need, there will be someone who will create something to fill that need. Wow.
