Keep it simple

Over the years, man has complicated everything. Invented and invented. He dug deep holes, built tall houses. Invented. Each subsequent generation received more and more information. My grandfather studied mathematics and Russian. Mom is also a physicist. I also computer science:

10 cls: pcls
20 rem >>> my first program <<<
30 input "Enter your name:"; N
40 print N; "kazel!"
50 end

My 3-year-old daughter in kindergarten teaches English, and at home she draws in photoshop. Information enters the human brain in incredible amounts. People do not read books. Work and study at the same time. Once people even think. They run. You can pay for gas, electricity, mobile and internet in one place by pointing your finger across the screen. Even in the blog post post with mobile. Programmers no longer write programs. They press the control, then the control. Everything has long been written. Libraries, libraries - take-nihachu. Why delve into something and learn when there is a programming environment in which you don’t even need to think.

The avalanche of information overwhelms us. No time to learn to drive a car. Why switch speeds? Automatic - it's easier. Why save money on it? Do not wait - take a loan. Time accelerates so that you do not notice how the children of your friends already drink vodka at your table.

In the realm of all this, I want to say once again about the simplicity of things. Why do complex things? This is what I do not understand. I’m talking about design <- I’m already fed up with this word. My opinion is that design is the science of simplification. All those who make trinkets, curls are no longer designers - a kind of artists. Their expression is. Some people buy this expression, some do not.

I want the business cards to stop writing the phone number and address. And that the name and surname of the person were the largest object on it. I want the DVD format to die - let it be all on flash drives. I want the customer to be much more important how it works, and not what is his logo. I want to avoid marketing - let it be stupid to design!

Everything goes to the side easier. We design the interface? Fine. But let's not put three buttons, and think about how to make it so that there are two. And one is better. Have you seen the program ArtRage or Pixelmator ?

That is why I am for such interfaces.

Ps / do not write SMS. It's easier to call.
