Good Design
Posted by brianbeck on 2nd February 2009
If I could come up with a design that includes a blend of form and function to improve someone’s everyday life, I would create a PC application that would be an in-home grocery store. This design would be very easy for shopping. You would only need to login and select what items you want. Also, it will be less expensive to use than going to a store. and using up a lot of fuel. Having to start up your car and drive somewhere, for one or two items is not convenient. The In-home Store would be a time saver as well. Instead of fitting in a two hour grocery shopping stop, you could just need to open the app, and make the purchases. This technology would be the easiest way of grocery shopping ever.
With the In-home Store being an application, you physically would not see it. It’s convenience of being on a computer than actually having to put time aside and go grocery shopping makes life easier. Plus, with only a few bytes of space being used up, it won’t take up all your memory on your PC or ipod. Many types of options come with this app. When you log into the In-home Store, you just need to log into your free account. Once you are logged in, you type in your zip code. This will tell the program where you are, and will automatically start searching for grocery stores that are around your present area. Then you select a store you want your products to come from , and search their inventory. Lets say all you need is one item. Just search for the item and choose which one of the options it shows. This will give you the brand, quantity, and price. From there, you select what you want, and place your order; With no hassle!
Using the In-home would not only be user friendly, but pocket friendly, too. By loading the free download, you don’t have to spend any money. It can be a great way to save money with one download. So, not only user and pocket, but also environmentally friendly. Powering up a car, and driving to a grocery store, and driving all the way back home can cost some money. Using a ipod does not cost you any money to use. By loading the free download, you don’t have to spend any money. It can be a great way to save money and time with one download.
Besides downloading the In-home and using it whenever you need some quick groceries, you will be saving a whole lot of time. After placing the order, you need to type where the item (or items) should be shipped. Type in the address, and choose when you will need it. Your options would be Today (in 1-3 hours), Today (in 4-6 hours), tomorrow, or you can type in what day and time you will need it. Next, select what type of credit card you will be using, and put in all the necessary information about the card that the program requires. Finally, depending on when you need your item, the employee of In-home, called a “Personal Employee”, will deliver all your items. Also, by having this program, shopping for an un-technological, elderly family member will be easy.
With new products approaching everyday, technology is getting easier and easier to use. Using this machine is extremely effortless. Plus, it is popular and stylish to use ipods and laptop computers. Unlike this product, many products are requiring accounts with 30 day trials. But many people end up not canceling and just spending money every month on something they don’t want to pay for. The In-home does not require any fee for its services. Having simple products are very convenient to enjoy. With the computer screen freezing, internet servers “being down”, and cell phones with no service, it is about time for a product that isn’t a bother.
