Keeping It Simple
0
Technology only reelly starts to change our lives when it becomes simple.

The American interpreter, Thomas Edison produced the first phonograph in
31
1877 but it used rotating cylinders that were too dificult for people to use. It
32
was only when Emile Berliner inducted discs a generation later that the
33
phonograph (or gramofone, as it was now called) started to bring recorded
34
music into people's domiciles. The development of the early motor car followed
35
a similar path. When the first motor cars started to apear in the 1900s, they were
36
so hard to operate that most car owners had to hire proffessional chauffeurs to
37
drive them around. They also broke up so frequently that a knowledge of
38
mekanic and a willingness to be covered in oil and grease was essential. The
39
car didn't reach a mass market until Henry Ford simpled the system of
40
steering, braking, accelerating, and cog shifting in his famous Model T Ford in
41
the 1930s. Today's technology dessigners are studying these lessons from the
42
past careful as they design the next generation of personal computers, music
43
players and mobiles phones. The result should be a range of simple, elegant
44
products that look good, are easy to use and never go broken. But achieving that
45
result is certtainly not as simple as it sounds.
