Laundry Usability

Patrick from Mount Victoria

Tena koe Wellington

My name is Patrick O'Connor, I'm a third year Massey Industrial Design student conducting research on washing machine and dryer usability. My team and I are looking to interview and film people at their homes and document how they use their laundry set up. We want to indentify problematic areas and design solutions!

If you want to help us out, we're looking for people who live in apartment or compact homes and have a front loader washing machine and a dryer. People aged in the 24 to 40 range are most preferable. Please email us with your name, age and contact details at pjoconnordesign@gmail.com and we'll get in touch.

Thanks!

Patrick O'Connor

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
