More Guiding questions.

How will the elderly benefit?
It should not be too expensive and allows the elderly to be protected in unsafe situations such as robberies.

How can the watch incorporate a alarm system?
It can hold a pepper spray, but this has disadvantages. It can have a tracking device to allow the elderlies family to know where they are. It can have an alarm on the top of the watch, something like a siren, so that the public can be informed.

How would elderly know what to do in bad situations with the watch?
Education should be provided in the packaging in different languages and in large letters.

Guiding questions of the "Stun Watch"

Is it used for both genders?
At first, I thought of the product as a ring. Later on, I realized that men wouldn't be such great fans of rings, so I made this product to a watch(Unisex watch) With capabilities of probably electrocution, stunning of any other type or an alarm.

Is it safe, and how so?
It may not be as we are playing with electricity, so I should make a product that has a stunning spray incorporating an alarm. Also, if the elderly person washes his hands with the watch on if we are using electricity, the odds of him living would be low.

How big should the watch be?
It should be a little small and discreet so that if people harass the elderly, they can protect themselves being unnoticed.

Bad Designs

FLOOR FAN

This design is really very stupid. Look at the fan! The dangers lurking in this hurt device is great. Imagine what would happen if a toddler were to put his or her hand into it?*SLICE!*Another thing, since its a floor fan, children are definite to have access to the wires. What if they gnaw on the wires? Children can be disabled for life or even die because of this machine.
SOLUTION
Make it a stand fan instead and make the wire is closer to the top of the fan to prevent danger from occuring.
Also, the wire must be short and there should also be extention.
