I consider these to be my top three choices for now, but I do have a couple others that require further investigation. Approaching people to ask them what their problems are isn't exactly a comfortable scenario, which is why I contacted some leads via email in hopes of speaking with them formally to get their input on more ideas I have.

Hey Eugene. I really like yer 3 problems. I think the pharmacy one is my favorite. I have had times where i'm at the counter and I just want to be ignored by everyone else there.
ReplyDeleteYou have three really good problem statements. I think I like the first one best, although I hate coming out of a Muni station on the wrong street because of the lack of signage! But privacy is really important when you're speaking to a pharmacist and there is def a lack of that at most pharmacies! Good job :)
