The Children's Product Experience with Doug Collins - Sustainable toys
Summary: Doug Collins, a UX manager noted for his Twitter #UXTalk, joins Geoff to talk about the careful balance between designing for customers versus users, but in this case, the customers being parents and users being their children. So what factors go into a 'good' product made for kids? <br><br>To explore this, we look into sippy cup hygeine, frustrating snap locks, addictive toy electronics and Hanlon's Razor, tactile toy stores, whether there is such a thing as 'ethical consumerism', and most important of all, how to encourage educationally constructive curiousity and sustainability. <br><br>Listen in to this extra special episode and, in Doug's closing words, we hope you can pick a few useful thoughts out of this to bring forward into your own life with technology and your children to keep the good moving forward. <br><br>Intro and Outro tracks:<br>Music by 8er41 from Pixabay (<a href="https://pixabay.com/music/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=1224" rel="noopener">https://pixabay.com/music/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=1224</a><br>Small Group Walla by Corsica S on freemusicarchive.org (<a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Corsica_S#contact-artist)" rel="noopener">https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Corsica_S#contact-artist)</a>
