Convenient Aging

Some objects age in patterns - over time, users reveal usage habits.


Consider this bin: with four holes to choose from, two show far more wear and rust than the others. Why? Observe the overall position. With the bin placed against a wall, traffic moves on only one side. The bin's hood creates a sharper angle for depositing recyclables in the back openings. Hundreds of bottles and cans - contributed with an almost unconscious decision process - have revealed a pattern of use.
