Personification of objects is one aspect of product or form which makes them live in our life beyond their life. They acquire a character of their own with respect to the context of the user. Its interesting to see how we relate to different products and the value which we attach to them, sometimes almost giving them life. 

E Learning and Digital Culture

After watching " Bendito Machine III" I remembered one change, which came in the households of my neighborhood after televisions. Before televisions, the living-room used to have one central table and the chairs used to be around it. After televisions, every chair and table used to face the television. The whole set up and later on the design of living room changed. That changed the interactions among the family members as well. Now, in most of the apartments, architects leave one wall bare, so that the television can be propped on the same. Its interesting to see something as inconsequential as a television to become so important in such a short time period.
