These designs and inventions can also become weapons to experiencing a quality life. We might be designing intuitively without awareness and without foreseeing how our designs will change us. So I will for awhile look at hooks.Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270246393901276648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18765888.post-38461725072233057522011-07-03T13:43:31.695-07:002011-07-03T13:43:31.695-07:00Grids aren't terribly popular either as in wha...Grids aren't terribly popular either as in what ends up gridlock and the threat of privacy rights being lost. But they are less invasive than a hook that actually penetrates someone's body or willpower and hence forces them to do what they do not want to do. Hooks must be handled carefully or they become traps of a sort. Not many people are fond of that feeling. It's not a matter of liking or disliking something but just saying that hooking someone say into buying something is not something that feels good. Not saying they might not be needed but that it's a negative sort of feeling about them-- she hooked him etc.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18765888.post-79377976897696318162011-07-03T10:22:31.975-07:002011-07-03T10:22:31.975-07:00Hooks have a bad reputation.

A seed pod with a hook catches on animal fur and is carried to a new loction where it is deposited eventually producing another plant. The hooks could annoy the furry animal but are necessary for survival of the weed plant.<br />People are more excited about looking for grids than hooks. But hooks are an important concept in critical thinking and one that people of very different political perspectives can consider peaceably.Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270246393901276648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18765888.post-17132281441378277952011-07-03T09:49:46.277-07:002011-07-03T09:49:46.277-07:00It would be hard for me to want to see hooks every...It would be hard for me to want to see hooks everywhere or dwell on them too much because despite being a tool, as you point out, they are very negative in what they feel like. I have had the hook on a cactus attach itself to my knee and still remember how hard it was to remove. Hooks are what people use to see things and yet I don't like it there either. I want what I would sell to be bought because someone wanted it, not because they got trapped or stuck with it. It's one of those conundrums that we need it but it's unpleasant especially if you end up on the end of the barb.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
