RR08

Chapter nine, entitled contexts, talks basically about design in general.  Chapter ten, entitled futures, discusses design and the changes it will endure in the future.  These two chapters led me to reflect on the past to realize how vast the future of design can and will be.  Things get updated almost daily.  The newest electronic becomes an everyday belonging in a matter of months (take the overpriced iphone for example). Everything is changing and evolving quicker than we have the capability to understand.  It's cool that I was around when things were still fairly simplified.  Computers with only one style of text and color.  Before the internet became popular.  Cassette tapes.  CD players.  It's crazy to think how far we've come.  These sorts of observations make me excited about the future and the fact that as a design student, I have infinitely many opportunities.
