Week 2: Design

Design can be wonderful, awful, amazing, surprising and odd at the same time. I thought about this subject while I was watching my husband working on his project for his studies: he’s working on housing with a go-cart track on its roofs. Of course, it’s something nearly impossible, and the housing would be thirteen kilometers long, but still it’s amazing what you can think about. You can find an amazing design, very thoughtful, but there are some very unusual designs, scary ones, or just not useful.... Like here, for instance. A lamp. But lamps are boring. So it’s a lamp shaped as a flower. But it’s not very original either. So it’s a lamp that behaves like a flower: it blooms. At night, of course, at day this lamp is not a big of use, but at night… can you imagine that? http://www.dezeen.com/2014/03/07/flower-shaped-lamp-that-blooms-at-night-by-constantin-bolimond/ Or a floor, that’s actually a big touch screen.

Week 2: Useless/Weird apps

Have you found yourself browsing through a napp shop on your phone or tablet, looking for something new and cool, and you f ound some really weird apps? Well, I am sure you have , and you have downloaded some of them. Like this one app, that can unlock and unblock your phone using your finger print. Well, that was a waste of space. You guessed well!

The worst is that some people actually said it worked! But there’s another interesting app: GymShamer. It humiliate s you publicly if you don’t go to the gym, by showing your current location on FourSquare. I don’t know about you , but I don’t need this app to feel bad if I don’t hit the gym. My spine does it for this app. Another app, is Ghost Radar Classic. This app tells you

Week 2: Beauty

We all know, that standarts of beauty are very high these days. You have to be symmetric, thin, long hair ed preferably, beautiful. Oh, and it would be perfect, if you also ha d very long legs, wore high heals all the time, were sexy and smart at the same time. You should also work and take care of your house. Well, it’s a fantastic and delusional mission. You will never look as good as those models or actresses. Why? The Answer is simple, the photoshop! We all use it every day, and we do know, how it works, and we do know that pictures are altered, and still we’re trying to get to this “perfection”. http://www.upworthy.com/5-minutes-of-what-the-media-actually-does-to-women-8?c=ufb1 Another thing is, that there are some celebrities who are normal. There are many of them who sa y "I don't care about the Hollywood beauty model" yet still they demand to be photoshopped, or they put lots of make-up on.
