Week 12 Free Response

 Beautiful.

Sleek.

Practical....

The fork.



I think the fork is a design we take completely for granted. The fork allows us to move away from the primitive style of eating with our hands which I realized was a God-send as I shoveled steaming stir fry into my mouth today

The design is simple but perfect.

We can stab with it, scoop with it, dice with it, chop with it and most of all fork with it.

And looking at the alternatives we have for the fork, I'm happy the fork was invented.

I can't imagine living life eating with chopsticks, I just couldn't do it

The design of the fork is beautiful in its simplicity and practicality. The three prongs evenly distribute the weight of speared food to make sure it stays on and doesn't fall into your lap. The way the shaft of the fork contours to your hand is well done because it's supposed to fit any sized hand from Andre the Giant to a toddler.
