MIT Knows Simplicity
MIT has started a research program called SIMPLICITY Awake film One Night at McCools
. Their focus is “developing technologies for design—designs that are simpler to understand, easier to use, and, ultimately, more enjoyable.” Their vision of simplicity in design is right in tune with our goals for Firevalt, the financial managment web app we’re creating. Here’s an excerpt from MIT’s SIMPLICITY vision statement:
“[SIMPLICITY] is a radical reexamination of ways to break free from the intimidating complexity of today’s technology and the frustration of information overload. It is about inventing a future where less is more.”
“The vision of SIMPLICITY is one in which “simple” is not cheap or single-function, but rather elegant and easy to use. Think, for instance, of the beautiful iPod, which has less performance at a higher price than most if its competitors, yet still dominates the market.”
