Observation is part of the research. This time students brought their analog objects, placed them on the table, and started to look at them and discovered problems. After of observing the objects, they made groups of four people. For this reason, conversation, a point of views, and ideas began in a way to improve the object and transform it in digital.

The methodologies used in this was observed, reflect/identify, make a prototype, and repeat. This process is based on the book “IBM Thinking” page 22-23

In this class, we defined the meaning of “boil the frog” according to the reading gave us to before of the quarter. Our conclusion about this quote is that everything changes but we don’t pay enough attention to changes. As a designer, we have to be aware of what is happening around us. When we pay attention, we are willing to decide to change the world.
