Reflection:
This list was fairly easy to come up with because I added to it over time as the bugs came to me. Having to answer why the bug exists helped me become less irritated with the problems. Instead, it put me in a more problem solving mindset. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment.

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! Your bug list provides a series of relatable points that any person can relate to. Through our daily interactions and activities, we notice small inconveniences or things that can be improved. By taking this class, we can understand how entrepreneurs can take these shortcomings and make them opportunities, improving them from there.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job with being so specific about your "bugs". I also like how you analyzed many different products and how they are not performing how you want them to. I can agree that it was not very hard to come up with 20 things that bothered. Once I was in that problem solving mindset that you mentioned it was easy to address day to day problems I was having.
