IT Survey

The Economist has an Information Technology Survey up that I highly recommend. The first article in the survey is Make it simple, about how unnecessary complexity prevents technology from being used to its fullest, or sometimes from being used at all. This article interlinks to all of the other articles in the survey, which discuss additional topics such as feature creep, the “invisibility” of ubiquitous technology, and using “the Mom test” to determine simplicity. A lot of thought-provoking points here about the state of the industry, and things we should keep in mind if we want to be successful moving forward.
