in the world, rather than lack common sense (hard to pretend to be a human being, unless it is under duress), it lacks the good taste . Deep down, every devastating human problem comes down to this essential and seemingly superficial deficiency, and good taste is no accident lack a little 'everywhere: politics, architecture, music, entertainment, culture, food, computers, economy. Good taste is a bit 'of the moral design, and unlike the simple ideological or moral behavior (which is the fuel) has good taste - in fact - the good taste not to wonder just what is right and wrong (a debate , you know, on time, the dominant ideologies and situations), but question what is good and efficient, a good habit that facilitates the rapid resolution of any other type of dilemma, including the right and wrong. Let me be clear, I have no intention to profess a perfectionist, especially when an end in itself, a programmer, also I know that aesthetics are always just a consequence of the design: "Design is about how the whole thing works. Aesthetics, Which Can Be a part of design is about what it looks like " (Steve Jobs). I just want to point out how the functional rationality (an essential ingredient of good design) is a sufficient condition to ensure a lot of pleasant consequences that would otherwise be much more complex and time-consuming to obtain.
The problem of good taste is bivalent. On the one hand it is necessary talent and creativity to create something attractive design, the other is necessary for intelligence to appreciate the design. On the one hand and then used to create something culture of good taste, the other serves culture to use it, and frankly I'm not sure what the immediate future the condition easier to accomplish. Aesthetics, design, efficiency, innovation concepts are often far removed in fact the city, most of the time resigned to the sloppy "technology supermarket" because afflicted in his opinion the most pressing dilemmas. This in turn affects the education of young people, being deficient both in education and good taste both in support and development of talented people that can present itself as a leader in the dissemination of good taste in the world: it has a negative impact on the future of humanity as the leadership (which uses the reasoning skills and whose product should be assessed according to aesthetic criteria) has precisely the noble task of selecting people who will lead it. In parallel, the lack of good taste leads to lower quality or shoddy products, products that might instead have a design more accurate (in terms of technological, environmental, safety, efficiency) only if the designer had the good taste of it, if only the economy had the good taste to support it, if only society had the good taste of reward. Quite the contrary, the race for productivity indiscriminate and extreme fashion to gain an end in itself lead to mediocre products, quickly created and evaluated by the end user in an approximate way, not having the culture indignation but rather used to settle for the lesser evil.
habits are often a bad habit , often because they do not imply that rational analysis, no way of refining your workflow, and most often a symptom of a more serious and radical incapacity, not to adapt the other but to evolve. The designer is so ambitious as in the demanding situation of having to decide whether to force the user a change to something better (at least in his opinion), or do they maintain the general guidelines followed to date, and then improve its product without changing the dynamics of use, perhaps by proposing small changes over time in order to dilute to ferry you to different working methods, as permitted by the original design. Two different choices, each with its pros and cons, but both are a symbol of the fight against habits that allows one hand the success and the sedimentation of a catchment is essential for the activity of creation and distribution of the product, but on the other - if not supported by sufficient culture to good taste - bring disastrous to the unsightly bundles. To reinvent the future, we must learn to analyze and destroy the past, and the eternal search for perfection will continue undeterred, incestuous riding good and evil, in a lottery in which winners and losers will be known between yes and no decades . And where the first prize, as always, is a refrigerator.
Bello. Very nice.
