1.) Describe the term ‘prototype’ and give reasons why it could be used. A prototype is the original product or a model to make a new product. Prototypes are used to either make a new product or make improvements on an older product.  2.) Discuss another industry other than the car industry that would use prototypes. Domestic appliance makers use prototypes because a lot of people use these appliances in their houses and wish for no problems. The prototype is used to check out how the final product will be and if there are problems then they’ll have to fix them.  Provide at least ONE image of a prototype within that industry
