Wonder

Kahn talks about wonder as a response to the intuitive or unmeasurable.  It is our way of letting go of knowledge and trusting emotion without reservation or obligation.
I chose to look at this notion of wonder through an investigation into the world of products.  Products are such amazing things.  They move, make noise, lock, click, change form, and have purpose but at the same time do you need knowledge to make something interesting.  I feel products are based on wonderment of form and purpose and from this drives the function.
