The Artical "Design Flaws" by "Bill Bryson" appears in the book "I'm a Stranger Here Myself." Bryson claims that Product are ill thought out, and basically have alot of flaws now days.
For an example Bryson mention how his son has atleast sixty one houndred pairs of running shoes, an they are all flawless because of the designers. Next, the reason why he really mentiones that is because of his computer an how it has many keys that just are there for no reason. " I have so many Keys, in fact, the right-hand side of the keyboard there are whole communities of buttons of whose function i have the tiniest inkling".(pg 40) He goes on more about how the computers are not well thought out an the olde ones are. Bryson also critizes the Dodge Excreta, an how its storage tray really sucks because it doesnt really hold nothing. He also comes to conclusion that alot things have been design by people who are careless, also all the best designers are making Running shoes.
I totally agree with this artical 100%. The first reason why is because when it come to designers now days there are alot flaws in many materials.For an example when he mentioned the Dodge Excerta an how the storage tray was basically there for no reason because it was no use at all.Ive had first hand experience with that because that was my first car that i got in High school an i hated that fact that they designed that storage tray an it didnt do me alot good. Also about the running shoe Bryson really nailed that one because Atheltes really need shoes that are perfect fit for the sports so they can perform.The designers take alot good consideration of the Atheltes because they need to get feed backs an the products they made so they can Excel on there next project an basically make more money.
