Long-term
ToolToy
- Beyond
the simulation of performance, a ToolToy offers
long-
- term
performance quality, including durability and
repairability.
-
- During
its long life-span, a ToolToy also offers
'repeat-
- experience
value.' A ToolToy will lend itself to multiple
uses.
- The
Wink chair can be folded for use upright, or
unfolded as
- a
lounge chair.
-
- The
ToolToy would reward increases in skill over
time.
- An
automatic camera would offer manual features, so
that
- special
effects can be achieved as the owner gradually
grows
- in
knowledge and confidence.
-
- ToolToys
reward subtle differences in handling and the
- personal
desire to grow with experience. Like a good work
- of
literature, the product should gratify its user
on a number of
- levels.
A work of art can also be a good
read.
-
- It
is in providing such long-term satisfaction that
the ToolToy
- most
opposes mindless consumerism. It is only human
nature
- to
seek novelty through occasional change; but
there is no
- reason
why our same products cannot meet that
need.
