Reflection: Familiar objects that embodies analogical thinking
This post is a response to an assignment that requires us to find 3 familiar items that display analogical thinking. These are some items that display analogical thinking in my everyday environment.
Motivational pen holder with ancient poem
This pen holder is adorned with an ancient poem about the importance of learning. It provides functionality for the student as a pen holder as well as encouragement to study hard.
Coffee table with little birds/ tree-design
This bird coffee table combines functionality as a table with an analogy or allusion made to a tree's branches and inhabitants as in the birds.
This coffee table combines functionality as a table with an analogy to a wooden barrel.
This is a plastic plant. I suppose the first maker of plastic plant also made a leap of creative thinking: a plant that doesn't need to be maintained or kept alive, which goes against the very basic idea of plants.
I thought this is a humble display of good analogical or parallel thinking.
Self-watering plant pot. A plant pot which helps to keep the plant in it well watered. This is an idea that is also analogous. For it combines a plant pot with the idea/action of watering the plant.
