Objectified Reflection

I thought this movie was really interesting. It was amazing to see the process of how things go from the drawing board to the store as well as how many things in our world are designed. Almost everything has been touched by design in some way. One object that they talked about in the movie was a toohtpick. I had never thought of a toothpick as being designed. It’s just a sliver of wood, but it was amazing how many aspects of it are designed; they can have different grooves designed into them or a piece at the top the breaks off so you can have something to sets your toothpick on instead of placing it right on the table. I think the toothpicks are what  really made me understand the movie when it said that design touches everything, because a toothpick is something so insignificant, you never think about it. If design can touch a toothpick, than it must be able to touch everything else.
