[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

Christine Hartman of Savoy sat on a bench in Champaign’s West Side Park while her friends searched for their group, the League of Women Voters. She goes by Bamm and carries a cane wrapped in rainbow yarn.

Hartman has chronic pain and depression. She received expanded Medicaid and is frightened about recent efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

“I have very generous friends who will help me out, but I know that I am an exception; I am not the rule,” Hartman said. “There are so many thousands of people who will die; that’s unacceptable to me.”

Hartman isn’t alone. Thousands of men, women and children descended to the park Saturday morning for the Women’s March on Champaign-Urbana. Hosted by the Champaign County Young Democrats, the event is one of 673 registered marches worldwide in affiliation with the Women’s March on Washington.

Steve Donaldson drove down from Bloomington, Illinois. Although he came with his daughter and two granddaughters, he has another two granddaughters, two daughters and two sisters. Donaldson was concerned for them, so he rallied.

“I’ve always wanted them to achieve as much as they can in life, and I don’t want to see their abilities taken away from them,” Donaldson said. “Chances taken away from them that they’ve worked so hard to get to this point.”

Donaldson carried a sign saying, “Men of quality do not fear equality.” He wrote a quote from former president Barack Obama on the back of the sign.

“It’s just my duty to come down here and remind people how important it is to our future, to our country and to the future of our race to make sure things don’t get reversed,” Donaldson said.

State Rep. Carol Ammons kicked off the event with a pre-march speech. Several speakers followed, including Evelyn Reynolds of Black Lives Matter C-U and Sanaa Khan, a University student and member of the Muslim Students Association. An American Sign Language interpreter stood next to the women as they spoke.

Kara Hagen of Urbana came with her young daughter Rwen. Both said they were displeased environmental issues never came up in any election debates.

“We are here to support women, the Earth and all (that) the government is not supporting well enough these days,” Hagen said.

Rwen said she came to support seals. She carried a pink sign strewn with the phrase, “support the seals.”

After roughly an hour of speeches, marchers lined up on the sidewalk next to University Avenue. Volunteers stationed along the route, seen wearing vests and badges, led the group.

Because of the massive crowd, organizers canceled the intended march to Cowboy Monkey. Instead, they marched from West Side Park, through downtown Champaign, looping back to the park.

This proved confusing for many as the leaders returned to the park while a majority of marchers waited to form a line. Some participants left the march and instead headed to downtown Champaign for other scheduled events.

Shalonda Carr is a teacher at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School in Urbana. She wanted to represent her students, some of whom are immigrants.

“Part of my poster is what they think is important and what they demand from our new president,” Carr said.

Carr didn’t go for one reason; she came for anything that falls under human rights.

“They said everything that I would have said, which is respecting everyone, making sure that America is a place that should be welcoming and (where) people want to come.”

After marching, attendees were encouraged to head to Cowboy Monkey, where post-march programming continued. Organizers announced during the opening rally they created an original drink at the bar named “Nasty Women.” For every purchase of the drink, the bar donated a dollar to Planned Parenthood.

As of Saturday afternoon, 2,479 people had RSVP’d for the event on Facebook. Prior to Saturday morning, organizers expected between one to two thousand attendees. Although they did not attempt counting an official turnout, they estimated nearly 5,000 people attended.

According to the national march’s website, over an estimated 2.5 million people marched worldwide.
