Reaction:
I had a very difficult time coming up with 20 different bugs. I seldom let bugs bother me because I normally find a way around it. Therefore to discover the bugs I had to analyze how I've adjusted my daily activities. At first I struggled because I was narrow minded and I kept thinking about bugs that can be solved by a product. After reading the assignment over I realized that it was any bug in general, which made the assignment much easier.
