Life Lesson #105: Less is More
“As we grow older we learn that more isn’t always better. More toys mean more to move, more cake means a bigger waist line and staying up late means less sleep. Expressions our parents taught us like ”quality not quantity” and “less is more” start to make sense and we finally understand the value of simplicity.” (Read the entire posting from Casie Gillette)
Less isn’t always more. Sometimes less is less. For example, I’ve seen some consumer electronic interfaces where there is so little guidance and information that I cannot take any reasonable actions. For example, some DVD players now only offer operation via the remote control. That’s great if your remote is handy and the batteries are juiced up.
