When we introduce more products that are designed to be accessible to, and to serve, only the privileged, we dehumanize ourselves.

It's fun to argue about a good or bad design.

The real work, though, is concerned with intent and evidence. Sequential logic and user experience data is always more valid than, "I'm just not sure if I like it."

"________ was here" carved in a tree or a bathroom stall is a lot like the Voyager Golden Records.

Don't bring an umbrella to a brainstorm.

Many popular designers become popular by posting sketches and renderings on Instagram or TikTok.

But the truth is that drawing is a technical skill. Like learning how to be a bartender, you practice and learn new techniques until you have a style.

Which is not to say that you should settle for less. It's about utilizing resources and being realistic about expectations.

It ties in with the mantra, "Fail early and fail often." But not everything is a lesson, sometimes you just don't win.

That's what it means to be a good designer.

"If people don't either love or hate your work, you just haven't done all that much."

Sign language utilizes the entire body.

Aside from hand gestures, a person communicates through body language, lip reading, facial expression, different dialects and eye contact. To translate sign language with a device means to know real-time details about how an entire person's body is moving.

4K Tv Antenna - A higher bitrate means the image is clearer. The image is less compressed than streaming so local news looks as sharp as a movie, if not sharper. If you only stream content, adding an antenna is more than worth it for local news.

There is a constant tug of war between what is innovative and what is desirable.

A perfectionist can't distinguish between the perfect product and one good enough.

Why bother buying a jump rope when you can just jump?

Bat a balloon to brainstorm. You trade some brain power for the balloon, but in return your thoughts are clearer.

The Segway was supposed to be revolutionary, but today's self-balancing scooters outsell the original Segway by miles.

That's the saying that discourages people from chasing material possessions. Although, money can buy necessities and quality.

The charging port is located on the bottom so you can't use it while charging. Some argue it's for aesthetics. Using it while charging would lead to folks leaving the mouse plugged in all the time, which looks dated. The real reason could be that the battery location was traded for the charging port. A total redesign wasn't conducted because the mouse charges so rapidly.

No graph tells the whole story.

It's new territory.

The fear isn't just that you bring the wrong cards to the table, it's that everyone else's cards are probably so good.
