The lady in a hurry to find something in her bag spilled out almost everything that may have been once kept very securely in the bag. They were now part of just a huge mass of garbage!
Buying a bag is an experience.
We so carefully look into the various compartments that the manufacturer so carefully designed keeping in mind how the most valuable possessions of the user could be securely kept. Small compartments, big compartments, the inside compartment, the most usable compartment just right to fit the various sizes. And that applies to both, women's bags or men's wallets.
Hand bags, office bags, travel bags, overnighters...
In much the same way the makers design and think the appliances, cars, gadgets and instruments.
Alas, the user went a little beyond the basic utility and considered those products as a piece of art.
We also pay the price for a piece of art, as that is what we seek. Something that is more than just a usable stuff!
In not using the piece of art as indeed the piece of art, do I ridicule the finesse of the mind that saw the piece so preciously?
Or is it expected? that if I paid the price for the piece of art, it is my choice how I deal with it.
Nah, that's being insensitive.
If we wish to laud the ingenious efforts and wish to engage them better over time we ought to reckon that there is an utility of a precious kind in using products for daily use.
We don't want the consumption cycle to get back to filling in the utilitarian space and no further.
I would like to keep where the coins belong, where the pen belongs, where the calculator belongs, where the lipstick belongs and where my napkin ought to be. And the credit card must have its place another than the Health Card or the Driving License.
Utilising is one and utilitating can be mutilating its purpose.
