Designers are asked how they can design products that utilize the technology while remaining meaningful. Yun Liang’s scroll cellphone takes its inspiration from how traditional Chinese paintings are unfurled.

When not in use, the display neatly rolls into the tube. All numeric key functions remain tactile running along the side of the scroll as opposed to touchscreen. This makes it possible to use without having to unroll the screen. You would only do so when accessing media and data. Awesome.

We all know how the Chinese from mainland China behaves themselves as most of us have even witnessed them in real life.

Dos

Respect queues
Put litter in bins
Be polite in public places
Observe the rule of “ladies first”
Always wear a shirt in public places
Respect the customs of religious and ethnic minorities

Don’ts

Spit in public places
Litter everywhere
Smoke in no-smoking areas
Trample on the grass
