Changing the System

 

For my everyday system to manipulate, I chose drinking water. Every living thing needs to drink or absorb water in order to survive, it is a part of our everyday system. I broke down the system into five simple steps as follows:
1. Fill the cup
2. Drink water
3. Swallow water
4. Digest water
5. Drink more water when thirsty again (repeat).

When I translated my sketch onto sticky- notes to rearrange them, the system changed. As in any other system, drinking water would be impossible if it wasn’t followed in the correct order. I think in any system if a small abnormality or dysfunction is made, the result or outcome will alter because the system was changed. Systems exist because it makes life and our everyday actions easier as we perform the systems in an order that makes sense to us.
