A For And Against Essay of “Easy-To-Use Chopsticks”

If you ever have used chopsticks and you tried to eat rice or other types of oriental food like noodles, you will have realized how difficult it is to take them well and use them without your food falling.The Marc Bañeres and Pau Roca’s invention is an attempt to facilitate this situation to not oriental people, who would like to use it but they don’t know how to. 

They have put together the two sticks to a wood clothespin. This greatly facilitates the fact of taking them without being moved and so it will not be so difficult for you to take the food to put it into your mouth.

For good or bad, you will also have to develop a certain ability to take the smallest food, such as rice grains. In addition, although it may seem or be very useful, the chopsticks also have a small defect: it are made of fine wood are very delicate and at any moment if you do too much force with the chopsticks, it could break, separating from the clamp.

In conclusion, I think this chindogu is also a great invention because, despite it has a simple design, it can be very useful as well, and the problem of its fragility can be solved simply by making it from another more resistant material, such as aluminum, for example.
