New Brief


Week 5 - Class 1


This is the brief we have selected. It focusses on the issue of millennial phone dependancy, and coming up with a solution for creating a healthy balance between phone usage and building real life connections. 


We both liked the idea of focussing on millennials as s is relevant to us along with a lot of our friends, so we should be able to find a lot of useful information out. This will also be beneficial when it comes to testing prototypes.

Our job is to think of a solution that will give millennials incentive to put their phones down, so they can built connections and engage with people in real life. We don't want to encourage them to go cold turkey, but more create a healthy balance.

Today we began to protoype our event idea by showing a few participants nostalgic images to start a conversatoins about what is nostalgic for different people. surprisingly millennials are very nostalgic compared to other generations, so we believe a social event involving nostalgia in some way would be a successful strategy to encourage millennials to put down their phones and live in the moment by rememebering the past. We want to remind millennials how much fun they had in their childhood before they had phones. Millennials were a lot more engaged with their surroundings when we didn't rely on technology.
