Transcript of Lotus Notes: Simplicity
Simplicity is a key aspect behind the Apple brand. It is part of what drove Steve Jobs from he very
beginning. To make computers simple enough for the world to use.
Apple did not invent the portable music market. The iPod took the simplicity of the MP3 player to a
new level. This was a key driver of growth for these devices that fundamentally changed the music
world. This was radical design.
Before that Apple had redefined the computer interface with the development of the Graphical User
Interface another important delivery on its commitment -- To make a contribution to the world by
making tools for the mind that advance humankind
A concept that Microsoft adopted with its Windows Operating system, allowing Microsoft to
dominate the software market for many years and help put a personal computer on every office
desk and inside every home.
Later Microsoft acquired Nest, a company that had put itself on the consumer market with its
innovative design and intuitive interface that made home thermostats simple to use.
And companies like Amazon are now redefining the way we interact with applications and devices
using intelligent digital assistants.
It’s not just with technology that simplicity has revolutionized the world. The simplicity of the post-it
note has radically changed the way we interact in the workplace and has become a vital tool for
designers around the world designing a new generation of modern devices.
IBM have contributed in the passed with its Selectric Typewriter, which for many years was perhaps
the iPod of the written word.
Application Development is a well developed field, but it is yet to see the full
effect of an Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or IBM take this important part of
business and elevate it to a new level through simplicity.
