UMO - 6th Boycott Bad Design Contest'10
Communication is the new order of life on our planet. H2O, O2 and a skill set on our resumes is not enough anymore to survive in this ever growing complex ecosystem of life.
Mobile and social communication is a big buzz word and why not, after all we have over 300 million mobile subscribers.
Communication is one of the most basic and also the most complicated of human expressions. Depending on the context and situation, communication can address plethora of emotional needs and can make or break relations, career and business. Communication is the most powerful of all mediums. But unfortunately and inevitably we let developing technologies seize the control of our communication. Medium has become the messenger and message itself now.
Boycott Bad Design Contest'10 encourages participants to look at various means, modes, mediums, products and services of communication from the most latest micro blogging rage like Twitter on the Internet to the not so pre-historic mediums like newspapers, radio, television and telephone. All identified bad designs must be currently in use.

A frequent mode of transport for people. Easy and cheap for travelling shorter distances.
However it faces some serious design issues.
a. Because of the height of the footboard, I often see ladies and old fraternity having difficulty climbing the rickshaw. If the height is lowered like the concept used in Low Floor CNG buses it will be improved a lot. Road clearance can be taken into consideration and thus height can be reduced considerably.

This is from a personal experience. I ordered a large comfort cup of Chocó latté. But when I picked it up from the handle attached to the mug, my fingers felt a great strain. Since the cup was full I had to keep the cup down after a while. It was not a good user experience since it was discomforting n painful.Also if one tried to support the cup from other hand there is no appropriate provision. The contents are super hot n you cannot support the cup either from bottom or rim of the cup.
