Did you also consider 3D printing small homes? Seems like it has potential in the long run. https://qz.com/924909/apis-cor-can-3d-print-and-entire-house...

Now, if you're asking if it's aesthetically pleasing, that's a different story. But we were talking about design, right?
Hmm I think design also includes aesthetics - at least somewhat. Think about UI/UX. Both are design concepts. You're essentially describing the Casio as providing a great UX but not a great UI. I'd still argue UX is more important, but I wouldn't fully ignore UI when talking about design.

"This is awesome, good luck!" or something similarly supportive should be the bulk of comments in here. Cynicism for something like this, especially given the time we're in, is not helpful.

Depends on how you define success. Imo, Uber will become financially successful when autonomous cars and trucks work well and are regulated.

Sad, Drew had said it's not going anywhere when the acquisition was announced.

A solution is to build a platform that crowdsources such cases to raise awareness AND a call for action. The community would need to be unbelievable but it's not at all impossible. Once there are 100,000 signatures on any petition under 30 days, the White House guarantees a response. There are many great communities with more than 100,000 active users. Why not?
