UMO - 4th Boycott Bad Designs Contest'08
Transportation turns all our journey plans into reality. We plan most of our travel needs, albeit some are incidental, some are opportunity based and some are totally out of the blue and immediate. Whatever may be the nature and need of travel, it requires us to plan, check availability, budget our properties/options of travel..
As passionate travelers we always plan well in advance for all needs of transpiration, be it daily transportation to work/school; weekly transportation to country side, inter/intra city recreation/social gatherings; monthly transportation to cross state/country events, business meetings or a holiday; annual travel to in country, overseas or space travel. We also plan almost instantaneously for incidental/accidental sudden transportation needs to attend urgencies..
Despite of all this we cannot account for uncertainties raised by faulty systems, badly designed products and services. What we can certainly account for or bring to light is all those information systems, products and services which are badly designed.
The objective of this competition was to identify most badly designed product or a system or a service that we use in our day-to-day lives, get annoyed with and eventually ignore.
