4. Hypothesis
1. Future Postman
Nowadays, the life pace of people in modern city is accelerating. We walk fast on
the streets in order to get somewhere on time; we send emails and wait for quick
responses; we work hard to get promote fast. We simply follow the pace of our
lives without thinking the meaning of the lives. Therefore, I want to create a “slow
delivery” post office. It will provides the same service as a general post office, but
people can decide the delivery time, in a month, a year, ten years or even longer.
2. Overpackaging / Overdesign
It is a big problem for our environment. Manufacturers love to dress their products
up with fancy unnecessary packaging, which has nowhere to go and also a waste
of resources.
