Design in Society

The greatest gift America can give is the freedom to design and create products in which improve our world.  The ability to do so is seen through the latest design of Apple’s iphone 4.  The innovative design and specific technology advances allow the iphone 4 to be a computer, phone, desk, school, job, and recreation activity all in one easy to use handheld device.  This in the design world may be considered a utopia “ an ideally perfect place (or device), especially in its social political and moral aspects.”  The iphone 4 was specifically designed for our society and was made in order to meet our needs more effectively.  A few examples of the iphone 4 in which benefit our society are the endless amounts of applications, face time (face to face communication), maps, and the ability to house all of which make up one’s computer. The iphone 4 does not want its consumer to have to go to great lengths in trying to complete simple day-to-day tasks.  The convenience is what the iphone 4 is best known for.  The ingenious design creates a utopia for the world surrounding.  The relationships the iphone 4 creates whether it’s for business or pleasure is endless.  The newest face time feature adds a personal touch to the already personal ability of communicating through a telephone.  The utopian design of the iphone 4 is truly an ideal device, for it can accomplish all that is demanded of it.  It’s ability to create a relationship between consumer and technology is the upmost benefit for society.  It bridges a gap between what a computer, a phone, a map, a calculator, and an ipod separately would have been able to accomplish.  The all in one combination is just another building block in the great American Dream of advancing technology.
