#Person1#: What's up? You don't look too good.
#Person2#: Yeah, my head hurts, that's all. I've been in physics class all day. It's killer!
#Person1#: I liked physics. It's all math, really, arcs, curves, velocity, cool stuff.
#Person2#: Yeah, yeah, but today's lesson was all about the creation of the universe.
#Person1#: A physics class about the creation of the universe? That's some pretty unscientific language there. Sounds more religous to me.
#Person2#: It's all religion. Take the theory of the Big Bang. How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion? That's no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back or African myths about turtles and stuff.
#Person1#: Turtles? Whatever. . . Look, all that's required for the creation of matter an imbalance of particles and anti-particles. At least, that's what the math says.
#Person2#: Math, shmath. What's the evidence?
#Person1#: There is evidence! You know Edwin Hubble? He's the guy who in the early twentieth century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe, thus advancing notions of an expanding universe. What would it be expanding from? Well, the Big Bang. . . DUH!
#Person2#: Anyway, it's just a theory. Why do people go around touting theories? Where's the scientific rigor in that?
#Person1#: Dude, don't equivocate. A theory only becomes a theory after withstanding rigorous testing. You slept through class, didn't you? | #Person2# complains to #Person1# about today's physics class, which was about the creation of the universe, then they talk about the theory of Big Bang. |

Project Manager: I think your point about the the big energy source is a very valid one I do not suppose we have got any statistics on the the life expectancy of remote controls particularly sort of independent ones given you know the number of things you buy these days which you know have a a a lithium whatever battery in that is you know never needs replacing perhaps we should have the the disposable remote control you know one some sort of typical usage You know the the the battery will last know five ten years By which time I mean when alls said and done the digital television will be taking over in that time scale p perhaps we should know reduce the you know the sort of moving parts even more by not even having a battery compartment and

Project Manager: and if if anybody manages to run it down we will we will give them a new one it is you know it is what it saves in cost and you know there there is a well it is actually a marketing gimmick I mean it is hardly a gimmick it is it is totally practical so I th think you know the idea of a rechargeable one is unless you are really high tech and it sort of just recharges itself if it is n by you know magnetic waves or whatever if if it
Marketing: It could have like know like a cordless phone in your house it s got like a base that sits there all the time
Project Manager: Are are people really going to use it though ?

User Interface: I mean people forget to put their cordless phones back on there
Project Manager: I mean I know that somei times my my wife goes out in the morning and says oh I should have put the phone on to charge and then then she is had those for so long that if she has not worked that out by now
Industrial Designer: Because I only remember to charge my cell phone when battery dies And that is pretty much

Ingrid: how is Ollie getting on in school?
Bea: He is doing great, thanks. He took a little while to settle but now he is loving it! How about Kai?
Ingrid: He is doing very well. He moved with about 8 kids from nursery so the change isn’t too big for him. I think he just felt he was moving up a level rather than changing schools. Does Ollie know anyone already?

#Person1#: Ping-pong must be the top-ranking popular sport in China. It seems to me in every school, factory, army unit, or residential area, men and women, young and old, are swinging paddles.
#Person2#: You got it! In a sense, it has become a byword for Chinese sport.
#Person1#: What do you think might be the source of its popularity?
#Person2#: I think its critical advantage lies in its low cost. All you need is a racket, a table and a light celluloid ball. Tables are usually available in public recreation areas, like finest rooms, and outdoor playgrounds. . .
#Person1#: And sometimes a substitute table can be made out of a few desks.
#Person2#: Put it there! In senior high schools, we used to play on desks in the classroom, when no vacant tables were available. Likewise, the racket may take a variety of forms, too. Anything that resembles a racket, from a plank to cardboard or even a hardcover book, may be used as a racket.
#Person1#: Haha, these are very good inventions. All these speak the public's fondness for the sport
#Person2#: Yeah, the sport is affordable and accessible to every Tom, Dick and Jane in this developing country. No wonder even the state leaders are known to be keen on it.

Project Manager: Now we would like to have a presentation by the marketing expert on production evaluation
Marketing: I will take my file down so you can bring it up Kay should be able to get it now Kay why do not you move just to the next slide right away
Project Manager: You want to go to the next slide ?
Marketing: well obviously my method for s m the marketing of this thing is first to ask the big question will it sell ? And I think we should show this prototype to people from various age and socioeconomic groups and see about any fine tuning that maybe little things we have not thought of We can not accept every suggestion of course but maybe we just need to get a few And show the the prototype to consumer research groups we do not s want somebody to suddenly come to us and tell us that this button is toxic and you know some child will swallow it and then we will not sell any So we have to get some input from those people And then after that we just have to go with our best intuition and you know we like it we think it is good we are going to get behind it and sell it next slide please now the things that I was thinking and th my wish list has really been realised in this prototype I wanted the shape to be biomorphic I did not want anything with angles and all square I wanted it to be comfy and roundy so we we have got that The size is small the colours bright and warm which is what we wanted We wanted the feel to be as soft as possible we will have the soft buttons and the way this is shaped even though it is going to be hard plastic it feels good in your hand so that is nice And functionality I put last on my list because people are not going to use it before they buy it So paradoxically the other features in other words the look the feel and the shape that is what people are going to get in the store They do not have a television in the store they can not play with it so they will be our main selling points So th those have been fulfilled by your prototype and go ahead to the next slide please so the shape I think is a a one That is really really excellent shape The size is small and th these points are in the importance for the for the marketing these are not i in how I feel I think that it is I think that it is plenty small enough to sell but I think we are sort of right the scale is one to seven I think we are sort of right in the middle as far as c other competitors And our colour I think is great The colours are bright and warm and we really do great job there And given the constraints that we had I think we got it as soft as possible And then functionality I think you did a really good job on functionality obviously we could have ad added different functions but then we would disturb something else so I would say that we got to a five out of seven on on functionality So I think that basically we have got a great product and we can get off and running with it | The prototype should be shown to people of various age and socio-economic groups to see if there should be any fine-tuning.
