Panasonic Nano Care EH-SA42 beauty appliance


Hmm interesting, a little humidifier thingy.

Also heres an interesting article, which ties in with the above product, as well as female manager types as well as Japanese work place stuff.

Cant find much info about the product or how it works thought. Maybe its just marketing, like with dustbuster vacuums or whatever.

Vitamin C infused in air filter helps skin

I was reading the Drive section of SMH when I came upon a story about Nissan using Vitamin C in air filters to moisturise skin. I thought it sounded outageous but the scientists say it works on mice. Maybe this can be applied to my target market.

ID20: 20 years of Industrial Design at UNSW

Today I went to the red centre to have a look at this exhibition. It was interesting to see all the work done by students of the last 20 years. Also to look back at projects that we were doing last year or the year before.

Childfree

These are people who choose to live without kids and who dont want kids. ie. Childless by choice.

Other sites: The child free life
Some wiki stuff of DINK's.

It seems to be quite a popular choice of life for people in India and China, mainly with people who have come from working class backgrounds and are now considered middle class.

I think choosing DINK's who choose to remain childless rather than those who cant have kids is probably the better choice for this project.




A table comparing DINK's with other groups.
