Transcript

It was a cold, wet, snowy day and she was warm inside a streetcar.

As she was going to her destination, she noticed the driver opening the window

to clean off the excess snow so he could drive safely.

When he opened the window, though, he let all this cold, wet air inside,

making all the passengers miserable.

Now probably, most of those passengers just thought,

"It's a fact of life, he's got to open the window to clean it.

That's just how it is."

But Mary didn't.

Mary thought,

"What if the diver could actually clean the windshield from the inside

so that he could stay safe and drive

and the passengers could actually stay warm?"

So she picked up her sketchbook right then and there,

and began drawing what would become the world's first windshield wiper.

Now as a product designer, I try to learn from people like Mary

to try to see the world the way it really is,

not the way we think it is.

Why?

Because it's easy to solve a problem that almost everyone sees.

But it's hard to solve a problem that almost no one sees.
