I agreed with pretty much everything the designers in \u201cObjectified\u201d had to say. They\u2019ve spent their whole lives working in the design field so they are able to speak from experience and give a much better idea of what their lifestyle is actually like.
\nA few things stood out to me that changed how I thought about design. First of all, I never really thought about how almost everything I interact with on a daily basis went through a design process of some sort. Certain objects go through a more rigorous and thoughtful process, but even the most basic items had to be designed by someone at some point. Another thing that stood out to me was the idea of designing objects for \u201cwearing in over wearing out.\u201d The concept of creating items that improve over time and give the user more of an experience the longer they own it is intriguing. I don\u2019t think this applies to everything though. Smartphones are incredibly difficult to design for \u201cwearing in\u201d. The technology is changing so fast, and unless you can constantly take the phone apart and continuously upgrade it on pace with the advances of technology you\u2019re stuck buying a new device every few years to stay relevant.
\nBefore watching the documentary I defined design as the \u201ccreation and construction of objects.\u201d My definition after watching hasn\u2019t changed that much but I think that there is more to it than simply coming up with an idea for something and making it. There is thought, observations, and testing that all factor into the creation of something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
