“I don’t want Kettlewell to get more involved in this. It’s going good. Scrutiny could kill it.” (Doctorow, Page 82)

Both as the observer and as the one working at a computer, I noticed a shift in the way that I worked when I noticed somebody else watching. I think a large part of this was due to a fear of failure. Having somebody else there to see the way that you worked, and the inevitable failure that you made added an extra layer of stress onto the Tinkercad user, and provided incentive to get less done.
