The Magic of Simplicity

Ira Flatow talked with our simplicity expert, John Maeda on NPR's Science Friday last week.  They tackled the topic of simplicity in technology  and in our lives.  In this age of having less time but always wanting more, Maeda outlines how we can navigate our way through everything from organizing a silverware drawer to the new iPhone. 

Flatow ultimately gives Maeda's ten laws, which are outlined in The Laws of Simplicity the thumbs up.  Why does your alarm clock have so many buttons?  Is the Mac really easier to use than a PC?  Listen to the conversation here.
