Tbh, I dont know how it went. Most sections are okay but its hard to think of a logical answer haha.

Omg there's one question that doesn't make sense. It pissed me off so much. It said something like "How does electronic device protect the health or comfort of an user? Wtf - how? We all know that electronic devices contains heat and light (photochromic, etc) && LED but all of them don't protect the health of an user because they can cause a spark or heat. Or did I misunderstood that question?

That one confused me too! what I wrote was they can add electronics which react to temperature change to heat the person up when the temperature drops or they can have a safety button to alert a colleague when in danger.
My friend mentioned LEDs can be used if the outside work is done at night to make it visible and the worker visible.

I found that question confusing as well!
Ahh thank god I think I wrote about that :biggrin:

Didn't enjoy the trousers question at all! What did you put as the fabrics to make it safer? (idk what 'safer' meant)

I found that question really difficult as well! I put something really stupid like sound effects so that if he's in trouble he can make a sound and get help lmfao :colondollar:

I put how there could be gps tracking in them so if someone was travelling and went missing them they could be found and stuff like led lights so they can be seen and a way to charge phones to make sure that the wearer can call for help if they need to but I wasn't too sure on this one
