The only students who stayed after class to talk about design were international students from... Nigeria. Again, I cannot pronounce their names properly even after trying 10 times. I'm that bad.

@Ade_M0LA I just noticed that. I'm trying to find more Industrial Designers but Nigerians seem to be some of the most loveliest people I've met online. Ted Lasso's Nigerian characters show the same thing.

Phone-sized buttons on a screen that size. Just look at the car's natural shaking and see how difficult it is to touch your screen in an area that size. We continue to have designers who believe aesthetics are more important than design. They are not the same.
