OT: Make it simple |
Make it simple

Oct 28th 2004
From The Economist print edition
The next thing in technology, says Andreas Kluth, is not just big but
truly huge: the conquest of complexity
"THE computer knows me as its enemy," says John Maeda. "Everything I
touch doesn't work." Take those "plug-and-play" devices, such as
printers and digital cameras, that any personal computer (PC)
allegedly recognises automatically as soon as they are plugged into an
orifice called a USB port at the back of the PC. Whenever Mr Maeda
plugs something in, he says, his PC sends a long and incomprehensible
error message from Windows, Microsoft's ubiquitous operating system.
But he knows from bitter experience that the gist of it is no.
