my trip to the red dot museum

3 things i learnt
1. One way of innovation is to change the design of the object.
2. developers use creative designs and formats to attract customers.
3. Innovation is a way of not lagging behind and doing better than the inventors themselves.
2 things to improve on
1. the handouts were boring and not interactive.
2. the museum needs more interactive things as just merely staring at the objects gets boring.
1 important thing i learnt.
I learnt the ability to invent is not enough, I need to be able to innovate and improve to keep up.
