Are you ready to be transmitted?

" Experience the real India", "Straight from Punjab".....very soon we will have kitchens that will boast of being bathrooms and classrooms that will boast of being playgrounds...the sky is the limit they say...who knows earth may start depicting itself as the sky...

A is trying to give the experience of B ...making relentless efforts at transmitting  a person from state A to state B...but perhaps this is what each and every design does.....we try to transmit the user from one state of experience to another...be it through an educational tool where one is exported to state of greater knowledge ..or be it a game for healing..where one is exported from someone suffering to someone who can understand teh suffering, confront it and overcome it....

Stressed? there are designs of spaces and products to make you reach  a state where you laugh or relax or burn it out....And then food joints...where you can just gulp it down....

At any moment of my life I am being exported from one state to another, and being assisted in this by the objects surrounding me and creating my world...

A big thankyou to my toys and games for having helped me in understanding this
