Video Reflection: Paul Bennett.

To me, this video seemed more focused around the idea of getting back to basics with design. With the technology that is available to us, it is easy to get carried away with designing products that look so different and have such incredible abilities, although in some cases they tend to merge away from the initial idea, and concept. In relation to surgery equipment. It may not be important to have products that are infact asethetically pleasing, but much more durable, and are extremerly functional. The brief would most likely be more focused on the function of the products. Some patients, particually older patients, may not fell as comfortable with new machinary taking aid instead of human connect. It has been evdient in this video that it is important to stay connected with the brief, and be aware of certain limitations in design.
