In fact, many things that people need to operate on a daily bases work quirky. In this session I will discuss some real life examples of quirky design, the remarkable resemblance in the software we make and some methods for addressing them.

“It's the '"nishing the back of the drawer. You can argue that people will never see it and it's very hard to describe why it's important but it just seems important.
It's a way that you demonstrate that you care for the people that you are making these products for. I think we see ourselves as having a civic responsibility to do that. It's important. It's right. It's very hard to explain why.”
―Jonathan Ive
