"Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous."
--- Leonardo da Vinci.
"Most digital products today emerge from the development process like a monster emerging from a bubbling tank. Developers, instead of planning and exciting with their users in mind, end up creating technological solutions over which they ultimately have little control. Like mad scientists, they fail because they have not imbued their creations with humanity."
--- Alan Cooper, 2009.
