I found making this list to be very challenging. It made me realize that I've learned to tolerate things that bother me every day. The first five items where easy for me to come up with but the other 15 where more challenging and caused me to become more aware and think more critically of my day to day life. This assignment has shown me that, although we live in an advanced society, there is always room for new products and better services.
