design for clumsy,absent minded folks like me

I just found out that our Art and Design department has a 3D printer-wow'how cool to design and make prototypes of a person's own creations or customise designs that are not mass produced.



With the frozen shoulder and increasing stiffness of arthritic joints,why doesn't someone redesign the bra so that pain in shoulders can be spared turning and twisting to hook up the bra.Why can't the hooks be located in front or better still dispense with the hook and eye system and instead use those peel off plastic strips that are used for fastening school shoes.


The other dreadful inventions are the child proof twist tops that have a vacumn that you have to press on and twist at the same time.When you want to get the darn sauce and the lid doesn't budge ,you wonder which genius thought up such unuser friendly lids.
