Design in Society

      A design that is utopian would be hybrid vehicles and technology as it helps the world in using less gasoline as well as less pollution. As the world lives longer it suffers more air pollution and has less resources to provide us with. The hybrid technology not only help change the world for a better future but could be the stepping stone to a new future in which we won't have to use any resources at all in our everyday life. 
      We rely so much on resources to keep our world spinning the design of the hybrid technology cuts this in half as it only takes a small percentage of gasoline to make it run. The hybrid technology not only is used in the concept of automobiles but as designers can be used in the aspect of many other things. An of example would be how the battery of the hybrid charges itself based on the breaking system it has, designers has thought about putting that system into the use of roller coasters, so in the future we’ll be able to have self sustainable theme parks powered by the breaking systems of roller coasters. 
      This step can be applied more towards the retrospect of the future world rather then just roller coasters, as we can take the hybrid systems and apply it to the things that are around us, that we use daily in our society. The design utopian for the hybrid system paves way for the upcoming future, in self sustainable technology.
