Proof of THE Significance of problems

So we did our research about the problems regarding shopping carts. We also divde into the history of shopping cart design to observe and learn from the earlier designs, why they failed, newer designs and the process through which the newer design was made into a finished product.

Tracing back to some history, Sylvan Goldman had a problem. As was customary for grocery stores in 1936, supplied shoppers with a small wooden or wire basket for them to carry as they wandered up and down the aisles. Once the basket got too heavy, though, customers headed for the check-out line, a situation Goldman wanted to avoid. He placed one shopping basket on the seat and another under the chair, then envisioned wheels on the legs, and a handle on the back. Goldman eventually settled on a design that was convenient and flexible.

Now we cannot go into a lot of history, but the idea is that several designs have failed and several new designs are come up. So this is not a minor problem that we can overlook just like that.

Some of the observations done by us which is in agreement with the above-mentioned problems as well as the problems we theoretically identified are:

1. In shopping malls when a customer is done after collecting the items he/she wants to buy has to wait in a long line in order to get his/her items billed and then get their items verified. This takes a lot of time.
2. Sometimes people take up items for which they have not paid which is illegal and causes loss.
3. One main reason why some people don’t like using shopping cart is due to its motion. It always needs a hand on it. It always tends to move sideways when it is meant to move forward which irritates people.
4. Another issue is that the legs of shopping cart tend to break after continuous collisions with walls and other things which make them unusable after a very limited time only.
