HISTORY OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

After read the file I attached, please answer the questions.

1. Who do you think was or were the first industrial designer(s)? Why and how was their thinking emulated in contemporary problem solving?

2. Give some examples of objects that you consider design classics, that have beauty and are functional (for example, the common pin, the staple, a coffee grinder).

3. If the Crystal Palace was the first World Expo and was high technology in its time, compare it to our contemporary Crystal Palace: the internet. How could we use the internet better to do the same things the Crystal Palace did for humankind?
