"Do you see a ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐ half empty or half full? I see a F@#$ing ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐. Many people don't even have a ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐ to work with... ...And here's the kicker โ in this industry, not only do we face the challenge of designing a cutting-edge, multi-functional ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐ on a shoestring budget, but we're also operating in a world where the disparity in resource allocation is staggering. We're brainstorming about zero-gravity drinkware while there are communities that can't even access clean drinking water. Think about it. We're in a meeting room, debating the philosophical nuances of a glass's fullness, but outside these walls, that debate is irrelevant. For some, the ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐ โ if they're lucky to have one โ is perpetually empty. Itโs a stark reminder of the economic divide. Our high-tech ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐ becomes a metaphor for technological advancement that, ironically, widens the gap between the haves and have-nots. Moreover, the client's whimsical demands for a ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐ that represents all philosophical viewpoints? That's like the global market in a nutshell โ diverse, contradictory, and often driven by perspectives far removed from grounded realities. So, when I'm asked about the state of the ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐, it's not just about whether it's half full or half empty. It's about understanding who has access to the ๐.๐.๐.๐.๐ in the first place and recognizing the broader implications of our work in a world rife with inequalities." ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ: The aim of achieving a greater good through technological advancements, underscoring the ethical responsibility to extend benefits beyond commercial or industrial goals to societal welfare. ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ง: Refers to designing products and solutions with a long-term perspective, considering their life cycle and impact over time rather than just immediate functionality. This includes considerations of durability, maintenance, and end-of-life disposal, ensuring they don't contribute to waste and environmental degradation. ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ: the importance of making technology accessible to all segments of society, breaking down barriers of cost, complexity, or availability. This aligns with the idea of technology as a tool for inclusion, bridging economic and social divides. ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ: Emphasizes the need for environmentally sustainable practices in engineering and technology development. This involves using resources wisely, minimizing environmental impact, and developing solutions that support ecological balance. ๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐: Commitment to service-oriented goals, where the primary objective of technological and engineering endeavors is to serve humanity, improve quality of life, and address pressing social issues. #GreaterGoodTech #LifespanSolutions, #AccessibleTech #TechWithPurpose #SustainableEngineering
