Music, drama, photos, movies, novels, experiences, these are ways to spread information nowadays. More and more novels are turned to movies, because people prefer to watch movies as entertainment, visually pictures and sound easier to be accept, people feel relax when watching movies.
As the development of technology, we’d like to use the word ‘experience’ to describe how we obtain information. In Universal Studio, when audience watching ‘the Simpsons’, the movie not just includes visual and sound, it added the real experience, like when we watching the Simpson sneezing in the screen, we could really feel water sprayed to our body from the seat in front of us, it feels like the virtual world in the screen, turns to reality, it brings us into that virtual world, audience are parts of this show. In this way to express information, could let us have fun, and feel directly about this information, without thinking, we could get it. So, things really make us smarter? Or make us thinking less and turn stupid？
Apple’s computer operating system, let us feel easy to use, that’s the main reason that why people prefer to use Apple’s operating system rather than Windows 7. Actually Windows operating system could achieve the same function as Apple’s, but people would choose the product more easy to use, the expression is different, that’s the key.
What is a good design, a version is ‘good design don’t need instructions’, no more explanation, people will automatically understand. That’s means things make us smarter? Maybe designers are smarter, to find a way to let people thinking less, and turn to less smart.
