When I watch the Ted talk by William Mcdonough, the quote "the fundamental issue is that for me design is the first signal of human intention" strongly grabbed my attention.
I sturdily believe this quote is a fact. No one will design and create anything that does not have any meaning to it.
In William Mcdonough's Ted talk , he said that the design of the toy duck has some problems. Usually, people do not see anything wrong with the duck; however, you will notice the problem when you look more carefully.
This duck is suppose to be safe because it is a toy for children, but on the back of the duck, it said " the product contain chemicals known by the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduction harm". After seeing this, a question popped up in my mind: What is the intention of this design? Was the toy duck made for gaining profit or for the good of children?
Now, tie "Design's intention" to "Ecology of commerce" we read. In the reading, it talks about how business affect the world from many things. When I read the reading, the first thing that popped out from my mind was credit card. The invention of credit card seem harmless but it is actually harmful. Credit cards can cause financial crises.
Relate to what we've learned in English class "Things that make us feel safe is the thing that give us control". I think that the true intention of credit card is to take money away from people. Credit cards make people buy things without considering the price, which is a bad buying habit. People receive bills later, but a lot of people could not afford the bills, therefore the bills becomes huge debts. From the example, I think our intention for designing things is getting worse and worse and I believe the consequences will affect everyone, including the people who design the product.
The impact corporations can bring is huge. I think that organization, group, and corporation should design things with good intention and be ethically responsible for the design they make. Only good intention can make our society and environment better.
In waste not, the author discuss about issue of US being wasteful. United State is a developed country and is a model that many developing countries look up to. However, US did not do a good job of being a good model because life style in US makes a bad model for developing countries. There is one section in Waste not that I have the most impression is the “How much waste is there”. This section talk about statistic of how much US waste is and show how bad the pollution in US is. Although, the statistic did not tell any moral, it makes me feel we are living in a trashcan and with a lot of illness caused by us.
For four weeks, I have interned at Agnitio as a quality tester. My responsibility is to keep the quality of product stay in a certain level and make sure the product work. What I can learn from working as a quality tester, I can learn how the detecting process work and different ways of detecting things.
From motivation of the waste not, Senior project, and Angus’ presentation. I realized that my internship is connected with the reading in the sense that it is about protecting the Environment around us. From Angus’ presentation I feel that we still have a chance to rescue the world and we can do it. For me my method of rescue the world is by investigate what cause our body sick in this polluted environment.
