My Thoughtless Acts:
Observing my interactions with my everyday environment and objects, I began to realize the different thoughtless acts I encounter on a daily basis.
iPhone & Computer Screen
Whenever I use my iPhone and computer, I always try to multi task with the different assignments I have. To do this, I usually place my phone on my computer screen, for easily switching between both tools. However, by placing my phone on my computer screen, I am using it for a completely different purpose than intended. This can be considered as a thoughtless act.
Hanging Clothing
Whenever I take off a jacket, I tend to hang them onto the side of my bed. This is mainly due to the easily accessible nature of this location, as when I wake up, I can easily pickup a jacket and get ready for school. However, this is different from the bed’s intended design, and as a result, becomes a thoughtless act.
Folding Book Pages
When I’m reading a book, I always fold the edge of page in order to keep track of where I left off. However, after thinking about this habit, I’ve realised that it’s actually a thoughtless act. The pages have page numbers as a tool for readers to use, however, sheerly out of convenience, I fold the edges of my pages to quickly get back to where I stopped. By not adhering to the intended use of the book pages, I believe this is a thoughtless act.
