Everywhere Ergonomics
Innovations in ergonomic design augment overall health & productivityImplications - Ergonomics, the study of designing products that aim to "fit" a person's body to enhance productivity while preventing repetitive stress injuries, has long been an important part of design -- whether it be furniture, equipment or tech gadgets. While ergonomic design has lately been focused on tech gadgets such as computer peripherals, designers are now increasingly paying attention to the ergonomics of everyday items, ranging from crowbars and walking sticks to coffee mugs and razors. Consumers place high importance on comfort, so anything that offers enhanced usability will likely stand out, no matter how mundane the product might be. [More]

Portable Safety
Innovations designed to protect consumers on the goImplications - Natural disasters, crime, freak accidents -- there is much to fear in today's danger-ridden world, which is why consumers are now more cautious than ever, cognizant of decreasing risk wherever and whenever they can. Thankfully, there are many different innovations (however bizarre some may be) to alleviate their anxiety. Ranging from shopping bags that double as helmets to pepper spray phone attachments, the number of tools designed to protect consumers while they go about their day-to-day lives is increasing. Since it takes advantage of a consumer's desire to feel safe and secure, appealing to fear, as many brands have uncovered over the years, can be an extremely effective marketing strategy. [More]
