Type of needs: Intellectual needs

                                  (O) I see two elderly people(a female and a male) using
                                       chessboards and chess pieces to play chess on the
                                       table while sitting on a chair. This is probably held at one
                                       of the elderly's house to play the chess.

                                   (I)  The things are there because
                                       they need the chess pieces to play ,the table to
                                       support the chess piece and the chairs for them to sit.
                                       They use their brains to think how to win the opponent
                                       and the hands to move their chess pieces. They are probably
                                       bored so they decided to call each other out to play chess
                                       with each other and also to take it as entertainment time
                                       to relax.

                                  (I) I wonder where are they playing the chess at? I wonder if the
                                       both of them are friends or couple and also who is better in
                                       playing chess. I wonder if they can get stuck over playing the
                                       chess for a very long time?




      




Type of needs: Physical needs

                                         
                                     (O)I see a sign " Reserved seating " above an empty
                                         seat in a MRT train. There are probably not much
                                         people in the train because it could still be early in
                                         the morning. The sign " Reserved seating " above
                                         the empty are meant for those disabled, pregnant,
                                        elderly and people with young children(needy people).
                         
                                  (I) The sign is there so that it can raise awareness to
                                       everybody that these range of people need the seats.
                                       The normal people are giving up their seats to those
                                       needy people who need to sit. The needy people
                                       may not handle the situation like for example, the train is
                                       shaking vigorously and those needy people may lose their
                                       balance and fall so those normal people give their seats to
                                       let those needy people sit. The train is filled up with so much
                                       people and those people who are standing are those normal
                                       people and those people sitting are those needy people.

                                   (I) I think that some people may fake that they are injured or what
                                        so that they are able to sit down without fighting for the seats. I
                                       wonder why are there only two seats specially for those needy people
                                       ,especially at a corner of the train?


          

Type of needs: Social needs

                                      (O) I see four elderly people(two females and two males)
                                          happily using their handphones to communicate with
                                          other people, probably their friends or families. They
                                          may also other than calling people to talk to them, they
                                         can also send messages to their friends or families.
                                     
                                      (I) They need the phones to be able to communicate with their
                                           friends or relatives. They are using their handphones to talk
                                          with their friends or families or sending a message to their friends
                                          or families. They miss their friends or feel bored so they decided
                                          to chat with them. Maybe they also think that calling to chat with their
                                          friends is troublesome so they decided to send a message to chat with
                                          them.

                                    (I) I wonder if they think that handphones are important, as in order to
                                         communicate with their friends or families because when they were
                                         younger, there weren't such a technology like handphones. I wonder
                                         if they think that handphones meant everything to them, and that they
                                         could not survive without handphones?
                                       









Type of needs: Emotional needs

                                     (O)I see four elderly people(three females and one male)
                                          who are happily smiling together at probably one of
                                          the elderly's house. They probably took the photos of
                                          themselves being elated because they want to keep
                                          photo as a memento.

                                    (I) The camera is there so that they are able to take the photo
                                        of them being happy and keep the photo as a memento. The
                                        elderly are showing their super white teeth while smiling very
                                        happily as if they have gotten their wish that all the while they
                                       could not fulfilled being fulfilled. They are smiling at the camera
                                       so that the photo they taken with the camera shows that they are
                                       being elated. The elderly took the picture so that when next time
                                       they refer to their photo album, they can remember that they
                                       had a photo of them smiling very happily with their friends
                                       before.

                              (I) I wonder are the elderly people friends a not or are they taking
                                   the photo because of the photographer's request and also they
                                  are getting paid by the photographer so as to take a picture of them
                                  happy and post it to "Google" so that people can take the photo as a
                                  reference. I wonder if their smile are genuine as some people when
                                  they post for photos, their smiles may not be real.( = Fake smile)




                           

Future Handphone

                                                                      

                                              My Thoughts

                                          This is the phone that I would like to have in the future.
                                           I think that it is very cool and unique for one to own as
                                          nowadays the phones'  keyboards are on the handphone
                                          unlike the handphone shown in the above picture.I think that
                                          it will also be very convenient especially for people who work
                                          in the offices.
                
                                        

                                         PS: It is able to stand on it ownself without having any support

                                                 placed at the back of the phone and it is very convenient

                                                for users to use it, especially when they are using their

                                                handphone to watch shows.  

 

 

Future handphone:

• The phone can be floating in the air because some people may have too much things in their hands  so they are unable to take out their handphones to use.

• The phone is able to be controlled just by eye contact.

• The phone is able to have unlimited space so that the phone is able to install unlimited amounts of apps.

• The phone knows the who is the owner of itself and if someone were to steal it, it will immediately ring such a loud signal tone that the owner can be able to detect where his/her phone is located at.(There will be different signal tone given to different people who buy the phone.)

• The phone is able to know the owner's emotions so if the owner is sad, it will cheer the owner up, if the owner is feeling bored, it will talk to the owner like as if it is the owner's friend.

• The phone will can be bent into half such that big phones(e.g. Samsung galaxy note 2)can easily be placed into the owner's pocket for convenience purpose.

 

Look beyond five years from now

What type of design?

• It has all kinds of colours, including rainbow colours for the handphones' colours.

• It can have some design specially carved on the phone without doing much damage to the phone, if customers who buy the phone would like to have some design on the phone.

• The handphone's shape can don't be like the present's shape(2013) which is rectangle and can be of different varieties of shapes, for example, circle, diamond, oval... etc.

• The handphone can be transparent in colour except for the apps on the phone.

 

Technology used?

• The phone is able to predict exactly when a natural disaster to happen.

• The phone will automatically alert you what is happening in Singapore lately or around the world.(You will not need Wi-Fi to see the news)

• The phone will automatically update the apps on your phones so that you will not need to waste your time to update your apps.

• The phone will not be lacking, even you have used the phone for a very long time because some phones after long hours of usage in the internet over a period of time will lack if you intend for example to go Google.
