6. The talk i listened to was by Thomas Thwaites, a professional designer from London, England. His job is not unlike some jobs that i would like to have. He challenged himself with building a toaster from scratch, based on a quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy a book that i have read. His type of job is a new impoprtant job that is bursting at the seams with opportunities.
Yours was a neat selection. How do you think Thomas got involved in design work?
