Why didn't I think of that?

When it comes to learning and design, the first hurdle is simply looking around and asking yourself, "how could this be better?"

For instance, someone applied the design process to a traditional watering can and came up with something much better.

So it stands, rather than asking 'Why didn't I think of that?", we should frame the way we approach learning with this question, "How can we make this better?"

This idea comes from the Cooper Hewitt Museum.
