Good Design:

        Here you can see my good design this week is the echo dot. I really love this thing. We have one in our living room and one in my office. It has a blue light when its working (works 99% of the time) and it flashes red when something is wrong (usually the internet is out.)The design of small round and black with the simple logo is great! You can put it almost anywhere. You can decorate it with skins or even but accessories for it, that can help with many things like mounting it to a wall if you wanted. Some of my favorite features are asking it for jokes and more practical asking it how to spell things because lord knows I can not spell to save the world. We also have it connected to our lights. Why? well because our light switch is all the way across the house (poor design for my house) and when we come in the door and say "echo turn on the lights" let there be light! So I fully recommend you get one if you don't already, it will only improve your life.

                            Bad Design:

    Here we have a wink hub. We only have one of these for our two lights that i mentioned in the good design. Now the function of this should be great. Give my echo a way to communicate with the light bulbs. However it doesn't like to work all the time. the littlest thing throws it into a fit and we have to take thirty minutes to get it working again. The look of it is just bulky and annoying. Who want's a big white square, that over laps the second plug, out for the world to see? It also has this small blinking light that lets you know when its working. Let me tell you at night that is no small light! the only way to turn said light off? Unplug it. Simple right? no not at all because then you have to set it back up again when you need it. I think I've made my point. There are other options out there go for those.
