Happy October 1st, time really does fly! Today I took the time to continue some research and look back at my biweekly feedback and accomplish those goals. Linked below are two articles that Mrs. VanEtten provided for me as a resource. The first one is an article about a reimagined shopping cart! It is so interesting how there are so many unique ideas for such a simple concept as the article is nothing close to what I had in mind! It was interesting to read through and see the problems that this cart could be a solution for. The second article relooked at this concept and asked why it wasn’t seen in stores. The problem was that there are no real market demand for them and who were the target audience for its use? Again, these articles made me reconsider my idea and ask myself what exaclty am I trying to accomplish? For now, I will continue down the path of research into magnets and levitation. https://www.ideo.com/post/reimagining-the-shopping-cart https://yannigroth.com/2011/08/12/the-ideo-shopping-cart-1998-wasnt-a-failure-the-concept-was-just-ahead-of-its-time/
