I was wearing this shirt for CT when blending was introduced.
I did not take notice/ignorant of the creative aspect, until I return home and realise that the buttons are a blend of the slip button and the snap button.
The Tamagotchi was my primary school gadget. It is also a blended creation.
I heard that the creator noticed that his fellow Japanese were crazy over technology and pet, and simply put the two together to form the Tamagotchi.
Again, its another blended space.
Blended spaces exist everywhere around us. Its kinda hard to find something that is not a blended space.
Even the white board is a blended space (black board + white paper flip-chart), our Singapore flag (Islamic influences + Chinese influences), smartphones (cell phone + pda + radio + laptop), the list can go on.
However, it is not certain if the innovators of these innovation applied blending to create their creations. That said, it is very mush evident that there's some degree of blending in all of the above stated examples and in almost everything around us.
