#Person1#: Can you believe the headlines?
#Person2#: What are you reading?
#Person1#: I'm reading about Michael Milliken, the Bond King.
#Person2#: Didn't he sell worthless stocks to people or something? He got arrested for that, didn't he?
#Person1#: He got arrested all right.
#Person2#: If I remember, he got off with a light sentence. Something like three years in a minimum-security prison.
#Person1#: Yup, that's him. He made millions of dollars selling bonds to people and ended up with a pile of cash when they became useless.
#Person2#: I think the government fined him a small amount, and he kept the rest in his foreign bank accounts. He's still a millionaire.
#Person1#: That's the kind of thing in America that gets me mad. Some guy pulls off a stock scheme and makes millions while spending the bare minimum sentence in jail.
#Person2#: I know. And some poor guy that robs a liquor store makes $ 500 at most and ends up in jail for five to ten years.

blacksmith: I've but heard whispers, but can say only the brave - or foolish- venture there. They were lucky to make it out alive, what with the horrors seem to be bandied about there. Dark times, dark times indeed...
knight: Well, we all play our part. Without this fine sword that you have made for me, I could not myself do much good in the wars

#Person1#: Well, believe it or not I don't have a burning desire to see the world. I'd much prefer just to stay at home. Anyway it's hard to decide.

guard: This place is so old. There is writing on the walls, I wonder what it says?
general: ancient text, or does it look recent?
guard: It looks ancient, I don't understand the language. It seems to take up the whole wall.
general: it looks like some of this isn't writing, they have disguised holes for grasping onto into the symbols, maybe I can climb up here
guard: Be careful it could be a trap
general: true, maybe we should wait, maybe until this typing game is over, before we enter
guard: You probably right.

Marketing: There we go well I think we have introduced ourselves so the functional requirements are is is part of my goal but why do not we pass right to the second slide Because that is where m my discussion starts Right well since I am in charge of trying to figure out what we should put on this thing since I have to try to sell it I thought that the method I should follow would be gather suggestions from everybody and th the reason I just put that there like that is that in the init in the initial stage I think I should just be open to lots of suggestions You know you can say anything you want no matter how silly it sounds you know it should run your car it should heat up your motor if should turn on your CD whatever you want it to do and then as we go on what we will have to do is accept and eliminate these suggestions according to design and budget feasibility So I will be coming to you frequently as the Industrial Expert to tell me how hard it is going to be to add a feature or how expensive it is going to be or if your time if it takes five years to develop this it is just something we can not do So in the beginning just have a big puddle of things that we anybody can th throw anything in and then just weed things out that can not be done for one reason or another and then the things that seem the most attractive that to to a customer we will try to then prioritise those So that was what I meant there and as I said on the slide there consulting the Industrial Engineer about that and the other thing is timing is really going to be as important as money because if we are going to sell this thing I think the best time to sell it is as a Christmas present Twenty five Euros makes a nice little present and we want it to be an impulse purchase we want somebody to see it and think it is gee I just got to have that And take out their wallet and buy it So it is got to be really attractive and it but it is got to go to market by September because anything that you do not already have out there in September showing it around is not going to sell for Christmas and then I will be coming to you as the User Interface person to try to tell me from your point of view what are the most friendly features that we could put on it and try to prior help me with that prioritising of of the features and of the the look and the colour and I will be coming back to you to help weed out those suggestions from that point of view So I will be coming to you for how much is it going to cost us and how long is it going to take you and I will be coming to you to tell me what is going to make somebody take out their wallet you know what what is what is going to really be what they call a sizzle because we got to sell this sizzle A lot of times the thing that works the best from an engineering point of view is not the thing that somebody is really just going to take out their wallet and buy for Christmas for for their child or for their husband or whatever can we go to the next slide please ? Alright I I already did a little bit of research after our first meeting where we threw out some ideas and it looks to me that within the budget that we are looking at the the whole house idea really is not going to be possible So I would like your suggestions to come back to the other slide where I was saying we we could suggest anything | The buttons on the remote, installed with infrared bulbs, would be fluorescent whenever the TV is on, so users can find the remote even in the dark.

#Person1#: What should I get Uncle Teddy?
#Person2#: You could get him a tie.
#Person1#: Are you kidding? That's the stupidest gift one can buy. I don't want to get a tie.
#Person2#: Why not?
#Person1#: Everybody gets men ties for Christmas. It's too boring. Everybody buys either ties or sweaters. I want a more unique gift.
#Person2#: Well, you can buy him a pet iguana then.
#Person1#: That's a cool idea. At least it would be a surprise. But I'm afraid he wouldn't take care of it.
#Person2#: He would think you were crazy, Caroline.
#Person1#: Yes. An iguana is too strange for a gift, and a tie is too normal. So I have to find something halfway between.
#Person2#: How much do you want to spend?
#Person1#: Well, he was very good to me. He helped me edit my essay for the scholarship contest. So I want to spend at least 75 dollars.
#Person2#: Alright, I have an idea. You know he carries that conservative-looking briefcase every day.
#Person1#: Yes.
#Person2#: Well, he isn't a lawyer, so I don't think he needs to have a briefcase like that.
#Person1#: What should he have then?
#Person2#: I think he would appreciate having a very fine leather bag. But more like a bookbag or shoulder bag. You know, not so hard and square like a briefcase.
#Person1#: I think that's a great idea. Men look great with that kind of bag. Where can we buy one?
#Person2#: I don't think this mall has a leather goods store. So we have to go to State Street.
#Person1#: Alright. We can go later then.
#Person2#: We can buy something for Mom and Dad here, and then go buy Uncle Teddy's gift on State Street.
#Person1#: Good plan. What should we get for Mom though?
#Person2#: She said she wants one of those automatic foot massagers. I think they sell them at Sears.
#Person1#: Alright. We can go check at Sears and see if they have them. And what about Dad?
#Person2#: How about the iguana?
#Person1#: I think it would be a great joke. But I know we'd have to take the iguana back. And the pet store might not let us. So why don't we get him something else? Some clothes maybe.
#Person2#: A tie?
#Person1#: Oh, shut up about ties! Forget about ties, why not?
#Person2#: I was just kidding. | #Person1# and #Person2# are talking about what to get for Uncle Teddy for Chrismas. #Person1# thinks a tie is too boring and an iguana is too strange for a gift.

castaway: Thank you, sir. Is this a doctor's office?
person: No. This is an island. We need to gather all the resources we can for shelter.
castaway: Ohh, that's awful... can we survive?
person: I hope so. I have plenty of food. We can make a shelter out of this moss and bone.

person: That sounds like a better idea. We are going to need something to get water to be able to drink.
castaway: I know, we can sap moisture from the soil and let it drip onto a leaf.
person: That sounds good. I also have a sword we can use to catch fish from the lake for food.

Industrial Designer: Big one they are not easy to use I have one set and a remote control when I dropped it it broke So that will not be our goal I think And g big buttons m that is easier to use than I think Not all the small buttons you do not know
Project Manager: Is this positive or negative that big buttons ?
Industrial Designer: All all small buttons like when you have like a hundred buttons on your remote control you will not know what they are working for
Project Manager: What are your experiences ?
User Interface: well I think the the the goal of a remote control is that it is it it has an influence on the TV set And that it controls the channels and the the volume And I I I think it is positive if there is a a LED a LED on the corner of the of the remote So that you know it s it still has batteries on it in it And that if you push the button the LED gives a light and and you see that it is working And
Project Manager: So and do they always have that ?

What what does it have to have ? | Industrial Designer suggested that big size devices are hard to use and easily broken while a big button is more useful compared to a hundred small buttons.

Mia: We almost got scammed in Bangkok!!
Jack: What happened???
Jack: Is everything ok??
Mia: Yes, all is good. We got our money back.
Mia: So we got approached by a "friendly" stranger on the street who presented himself as a teacher and built our trust by telling family stories.
Mia: Then he recommended us some tourists attractions i.e. The Happy Buddha and some "excellent" tailors, where they had the "last day of promotion" he stopped a tuktuk for us and verified the driver's license (another trick to build our trust).
Mia: The tuktuk took us to the happy Buddha.
Mia: When we entered the temple we were approached by a very friendly "Buddhist prayer".
Mia: He said that he worked in London for the Thai trade mission.
Mia: He asked us what were our plans for the day and recommended that we went to the tailors showing us a few pictures of clothing that he "ordered" there for him and his wife.
Mia: The tuktuk took us to the tailors were a pushy seller persuaded us to buy some clothes of "very good quality".
Mia: As soon as we paid the tuktuk took us to the next tourist attraction but on the way we read the reviews on Google maps and we realised that we were scammed.
Mia: The reviewers were saying that once they ordered the clothes they were never sent to their country as promised or the finishing was very bad, definitely not worth the money.
Jack: Oh shit!! And you already paid!!!!
Mia: Yeah. We felt horrible!!
Mia: We asked the driver to take us back but he refused. Of course, he already got his commission.
Mia: We ran back to the tailors. Fortunately it wasn't far. Within 10 minutes we were back. We told the pushy seller to cancel our order.
Mia: He said it was impossible because the fabric was already cut to our measurements.
Mia: When we asked to see the cut fabric it was nowhere to be found, as it was already "sent to the factory".
Mia: Then we said that we were going to call the police.
Mia: Only then he agreed to return us the money.
Jack: What a story!
Jack: I'm glad that you managed to get it back.
Mia: Yeah. It's like 1500 USD! | Mia got almost scammed in Bangkok at the tailor's, but luckily, having threatened the seller with police, she got her money back. |
