Are we really busy or do we just complain more?
NixHex thinks: I think information overload has lead us to lead more stressful lives. The statement that ignorance is bliss is very true in this case. Previous generations did not have to deal with the unstoppable barrage of information thrown at us on a daily basis, whether it be new technology or marketers pushing us to buy their products. We have more to deal with on a daily than those that came before us.

Home technology upgrades
NixHex thinks: The kitchen seems to be the room in most need of innovative products. Kitchens are usually cluttered with appliances. There are safety concerns in dealing with most kitchen appliances as well as concerns about energy consumption.

Are hot water heaters outdated?
NixHex thinks: Outdated product will eventually dissappear despite low costs. New products will come along to replace them as the way people do things changes over time. Maybe someday, we won't even use water to shower. It may turn into something like dry cleaning only for your skin.

Is cash necessary anymore?
NixHex thinks: I prefer to use cash, not because I feel credit cards are not secure, but because of the simple fact that it makes me spend less. I have to be conscious of everything I buy throughout the week rather than be surprised by a large bill at the end of the month.

Open source product design
NixHex thinks: Sounds like a great idea but it would have to be strictly controlled by the manufacturer. The public knows what they want and provide great value in the product development lifecycle. A system such as this, done correctly, could revolutionize the way products are designed.

Too many choices
idesign thinks: Assuming the product is well designed in the beginning, I very much prefer the idea of only having a few option. Many times on great product, you don't need a huge variety of option. Many times the options are just ways to personalize it anyway. The problem is that companies beleive the more features they offer, the better. Each year they have to top themselves with more feature. I just want something that works really well and is simple in every aspect.

Too many choices
JBonnin thinks: In respect to the choices we are offered in market, the only thing that bothers me is that, very often, one same factory launches different fantasy brands. The products are basically the same, but we end by having the impression of having several disinct ones.

Too many choices
Simpler thinks: I think the key here is making it simple to choose for instance by online configuration. Now you can easily choose between different options when buying a car, while never experiencing the number of options. Of course the challenge is to decide on which options to offer. In the car example perhaps 15-20 would be enough, where many more would just seem overwhelming to most customers.

Too many choices
tumbler thinks: Choice and range isn't a bad thing. The issue is how it's all presented to you when you are wanting to buy something. i guess the thing is knowing what is going to seriously effect your buying decisions. If it is price then there are places like www.Kelkoo.co.uk which will list products according to price. Another nice site is the German Vodafone website http://www.vodafoneshop.d­e/shop/main/index.cfm Go to the home page and click on the link on the right hand side called handyfinder. This lets you view hundreds of products at the start but then these get wittled down acording to the requirements you need (battery time, triband etc). It would be great if Thomas Pink could od this for all their shirts according to formal, long sleeve, short sleeve, colour etc.

Pricing simplicity
dingo thinks: oh, how nice it would be to not have to carry a pocket full of change. I long for the day when physical money is no longer used. one less thing to keep up with.

Pricing simplicity
deisel thinks: It's a tricky issue. If we round everything up to me nice and even, doesn't that mean I'm paying more in the end? So, am I actually just paying for the convenience of not dealing with change?

Pricing simplicity
Maven thinks: Although I think it would be a great idea to simplify pricing, it would have to be an individual decision for business owners. Pricing at times is such a huge marketing tool that little else is considered in competitive markets. From a buyers standpoint, I can see the value, from the business owners standpoint, I'm not sure if it's an ideal solution.

Does Co Creation Create Better Products?
badmojo thinks: There's no doubt that the best ideas generally come from collaboration and what better collaboration that the user and the designer. Designers often see their own perspective and rarely are allowed the opportunity to interact with a product in a way that is different from their own. A variety of user's feedback could be invaluable to the design of new products when design is such a vital art of the user experience.

Does Co Creation Create Better Products?
dingo thinks: design must be a very collaborative effort as we move on into using more complex systems and products, it will be vital to have a level of communication between designers and the potential user in order to make these future products highly usable.
