Reflection:
It was easy to initially think of little challenges we face in our everyday lives but after the first bug I wrote the rest of my list flowed naturally. I realized that I have so many little knacks that bother me. It is entrepreneurs who take knacks and turn them into a product that makes our lives easier. I hope to one day cross one or two of my bugs off my list.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your bug list! You definitely took a different direction than I took. My list was more comprised of things that were an inconvenience to me. I really like how you thought of 'bugs' that impacted other people besides yourself. You thought of things that effected the environment, which is something that I care about a lot. I am a huge environmental person and loved your number 5. There should definitely been cars that are more eco-friendly. I really enjoyed reading your list!

Hello Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your bug list. I liked how you took a global approach to the project looking at world issues rather than just little things that annoy you in your life. I found when I wrote my blog post on world problems, I had similar issues as you did. After doing some thinking, I realized that a lot of these issues come down to money. Unfortunately, that’s the way the world operates and I wish there was more people like you and I could do about it.
