Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We're rebelling against technology that's too complicated, against DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte "read me" manuals. The iPod's clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that's simple and easy to use--but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do. In The Laws of Simplicity, John Maeda offers guidelines, ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design--for needing less and actually getting more.
Maeda--a professor in MIT's Media Lab and a world-renowned graphic designer--explores the question of how we can redefine the notion of "improved" so that it doesn't always mean something more, something added on.
Maeda's first law of simplicity is "Reduce." It's not necessarily beneficial to add technology features just because we can. And the features that we do have must be organized (Law 2) in a sensible hierarchy so users aren't distracted by features and functions they don't need. But simplicity is not less just for the sake of less. Skip ahead to Law 9: "Failure: Accept the fact that some things can never be made simple." Maeda's concise guide to simplicity in the digital age shows us how this idea can be a cornerstone of organizations and their products--how it can drive both business and technology. We can learn to simplify without sacrificing comfort and meaning, and we can achieve the balance described in Law 10. This law, which Maeda calls "The One," tells us: "Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful."

##猶豫著四星還是五星。 純設計角度而言，圍繞簡約作者的確提齣瞭很多很有道理的觀點，但是和很多設計的書一樣這種積纍是循序漸進的，不像看編程的書會豁然開朗。 文章最後提到能源，我覺得有種被啓發的感覺。現在電子設備越來越多，節電帶來的好處不僅僅是省錢。或許以後能有...
評分##簡單盡，復雜現，反之亦然。 （一） 中國人和老外的軟件有些使用的細節是不同的。 就拿輸入來說，連續的輸入的時候，我們喜歡用迴車鍵（Enter鍵）。老外一般習慣用Tab鍵。老外的使用意義很明確：迴車代錶確定。Tab鍵代錶跳格，重新定位。 我們呢：隻要用著方便，管他怎麼樣都行。隻要能實現同樣的目...
評分##可能書中說的這些點在其他書裏麵都見過瞭，反而沒那麼驚艷和共鳴

評分##quickly done reading. get the general idea of it by reading carefully the table of contents and glance over all the books.Read it in a simply but highly efficiently way
評分##很薄的一本書，偶爾在同學書架上發現。在繁雜的社會，繁復的信息中，能找到一些好書，和淘寶也差不多。倒是真有一些淘書的趣味，這不是書評，而是記錄一些記得記錄的事情。 對於這種法則和規律的東西，我個人比較迴避，就是當你這樣思考問題的時候，你就意味著沒有瞭創意，還有...
