Opening

I watched a documentary during the summer titled 'Objectified.' Numerous people, especially those in the field, spend a lot of time and put much thought into how and why things are designed the way they are. I learned about the design of a special kind of toothpick designed in Japan. The toothpick was designed in such a way that the top could be easily broken off so it could be identified as used. This feature would also provide for a rest for the end of the pick utilized if the user wanted to set it down. I would recommend this documentary, especially to those interested in design, because it is informational in an entertaining manner.
