I agree with Glen. Really you need to be passionate about design. What is inspired you to want to pursue Interaction Design/UX?Some people have an innate ability for design, but to get you in the mindset, read Don Norman's books about the Design of Everyday Things and Emotional Design. He takes it beyond computers and looks at everyday items as mundane as door handles. It really does help you to look at the bigger picture

1. restaurants and using their forks and spoons? just how sanitary are the utensils?

They definitely are not sanitized when they reach your table, possibly clean as in free of visible dirt. It's the same type of risk you take when money exchanges hands, which is anything but clean, and the germs that can be found on door handles to the restaurant itself and washroom doors. Many people do not wash their hands

2. How dangerous is it to go to the grocery store during this coronavirus pandemic?

It continues to remain seriously concerning gathering anywhere people are congregating.People are not distancing enough from other people.Dr. Lydia Bourouibas, Fluid Dynamics, MIT, "A sneeze can expel droplets of Covid-19, 23-27' away. Mucus and saliva can burst from out of the mouth at nearly 100 mph, staying suspended in the air ?. 6' is not near enough a person needs to distance from others."New England Journal of Medicine, "Loud talking expels droplets of Coronavirus up to 3' away from the speaker. "People are understandably concerned about the economy and paying their bills, but the disease is still very real and proving deadly for those still in denial.Infected people not appearing to have symptoms are unknowingly transferring Covid-19 to bystanders. The disease travels on droplets from coughing, sneezing, spitting, (yup watched a guy spitting out of his car window into the wind), and talking. Droplets fall onto people, and surfaces everywhere. Live viral killing germs of Covid -19 lasts:4 HRS ON COPPER24 HOURS ON CARDBOARD72 HOURS ON PLASTIC & STAINLESS STEELYou know those plastic shields to protect workers? Zero protection for customers facing the plastic where hundreds of shoppers just stood, leaving their droplets.Wear your masks, stand away from plastic shields. 96 HOURS ON GLASSSo while we hold stores glass doors, and refrigerator doors, rubbing on the doors, potentially wiping coronavirus all over ourselves, then potentially taking the virus home to our families.Wear masks, carry disinfectant/alcohol/peroxide sprayed wipes, and use these for door handles, money, everything.Wipe down everything you purchase before taking items inside your homes. Imagine the many unwashed hands handling foods, boxes, and packaging you are now handling.We must shop, (delivery where I live is unavailable till June, maybe), but we can be smart about our shopping trips.Make it short and fast, distance as far as possible, get home asap. SCRUB YOUR HANDS ALL THE TIME. If we distance as far as possible from others, wash hands and clothing, wear clean masks, we will live through this pandemic. Be safe, and pray for the worldHow dangerous is it to go to the grocery store during this coronavirus pandemic?

3. In order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, what are some tips to consciously not touch your face throughout the day?

Touching one's face can be a very normal habit that must be consciously considered and avoided. Possibly a string around the wrist, or look into a mirror and slap your own face to remind yourself not to touch (actually works). Of course if you don't wash your hands with soap and water and avoid touching public handled items (door handles, gasoline pump levers, bannisters and railings, elevator buttons, etc. ) then avoiding your face is even more important.In order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, what are some tips to consciously not touch your face throughout the day?

4. Tesla recently came out with their CyberTruck. Would you buy one, and why?

I would buy one if they changed one thing about it. Tesla has a feature that hides the door handles when in operation. This is a no go for me. I read a story about a man who bought a Tesla based on its safety ratings. Its all he cared about. And disappearing door handles seems like a sure way to prevent someone from easily hijacking your vehicle while you are in it. In this particular case, it failed him.He wrecked into a telephone pole and the part of the vehicle that controls the door handles malfunctioned and he got trapped inside. The vehicle caught on fire, thus bringing his worst fears and mine to life. Other than that, the truck from first glance, my initial reaction was "Elon missed the point" (referring to a trucks actual use as utility). But the more I read articles and looked at the truck, it started to grow on me. I dont actually know why I like it, but if they gave me some door handles that stayed in place fulltime, I would definitely buy it. Tesla recently came out with their CyberTruck.
