gee, I don't know. Why do you think? Why do we design cars?

Well, auto companies design cars to make money. They make money because people want cars. People want cars because they serve as useful transport devices that shorten wait times between tasks.

So are you saying that we are created to make the designer's life more convenient, or so that the designer can turn a profit?

Perhaps we have a purpose. Otherwise what is our purpose?

Do we need a purpose behind our existence?

Well, on a tangent, I once heard a very good homily and, inter alia, the priest noted that we are said to be "the salt of the earth" and that one major reason we use salt is to add flavor and zest to food. Now one respectable conclusion one can draw from that analogy is that people exist to add flavor and zest to the universe. Kind of a cosmic soap opera.
