      Sexy toys is the least like to design. Because designing such things will make me like a freak among my friends.

      There isn’t one particular industry I would least like to work in.

      For me being given the task of ‘copying’ another product doesn’t sound like any fun. So as long as it’s new then I’m happy.

      [FONT=&quot]I have to agree with old Archimedes on this. Any products that are reverse engineered or a carbon copy of the market leader is a bad design job. Yes, as long as you can come up with new solution that’s fine. [/FONT]

      I always come back to the companies that make stuff like ball bearings. I could never bring myself to spend years designing things so simple. I was offered a truckload of money to work for a company that made battery cable. (In the middle of no where.) That still gives me the chills.

      1. Except as an academic exercise, anything military - Even if it were simply to help sort their foodstuffs
      2. Anything scholastic, given our present educational system - though no problem with designing things for voluntary learning opportunities
      3. Anything governmental - Unless it were something like Congressional whoopee cushions or similar, perhaps...
      4. Probably anything branded by a celebrity, wherein the celebrity does not stem from the product - There are a few exceptions, but it seems like such designs are usually too bad to sell without the name cache
      5. Cutesy things to put on pets - They treat us well. We should treat them well back. (though it might be fun to design a better laser toy ; - ))

      Many people have vote against weapons.But what is wrong about that?
      If you have no weapons how we can defend ourselves?Moreover designing weapons is also very challenging which requires a lot of innovations.
      Thanks
