Create a more humane future through simple acts of sharing

You can find out more via the blog Unstash have and you can request an invite to join the site too. (The site hasn’t launched yet, but is launching soon.)

We need complexity
Donald Norman:
In attempting to reduce the frustrations caused by the complicated nature of much of today’s technology, many solutions miss the point. It is no great trick to take a simple situation and devise a simple solution. The real problem is that we truly need to have complexity in our lives. We seek rich, satisfying lives, and richness goes along with complexity. Our favorite songs, stories, games, and books are rich, satisfying, and complex. We need complexity even while we crave simplicity.
Now that’s something to ponder!
