The toughest part about creating this list of 20 “bugs” was coming up with reasons “why” the bugs exist. It was difficult to not put down MY reason the “bug” bugs me. After looking at my other blog-mates, I learned that there is no “cookie cutter” way to do this assignment. Every blogger interpreted this assignment in their own way. So that is what I did as well. This is MY list of “bugs” and I hope you enjoy it!
Hey Remi,
ReplyDeleteYour bugs were very interesting. It seemed like a lot of the issues you brought up were large-scale governmental issues. It would be very interesting to create a Business to Business situation in which you are doing work for or within the governmental sector. I also think you showed a strong reflection of the differences in culture and personal upbringing, especially through bug #11.
Chic-fail-a (sunday) was nearly one of mine! Cars, weather, campus, friends, products, animals and all other aspects of our lives have to come into question when we want to turn an annoying "reality" into an opportunity. The why is the hardest part and if you already knew why then ideally you would not be as annoyed. You can't nor need to be an expert of everything to find just 1 fantastic idea and I think that is the moral of this class. Just keep your eyes open for the annoying thing and then network with the other students and colleagues that may fix it.
