2. I always say, nothing is as simple as an ought to be

I’ve just learned to accept the fact that everything is gonna be an ordeal. Sometimes I get really angry at the designers and imagine that they have to be sentenced to a year of using their own products. I think too many products are designed for appearance and advertising appeal instead of function. They love to take a good design and change it up and make it more complicated as well. I have noticed one thing, in a car the gas pedal and the brake pedal has been in the same place my whole life. They know if they ever change that a lot of people would get killed. Also the typewriter keyboard hasn’t changed since it was designed to keep mechanical keys from sticking together.I wish the product designers would treat our other habits that way.
