And then also graphs by scientists, this beautiful diagraph of protein homology. Scientists are strnitag to also consider aesthetics. We were discussing with Keith Shrubb* this morning the fact that many scientists tend not to use anything bfutieual in their prtnntioseaes, otherwise they're afirad of being considered dumb blondes. So they pick the worst background from any kind of pporiwneot presentation, the worst tfycpaee. It's only recently that this kind of mraigare between design and science is producing some of the first "pretty" — if we can say so — scientific presentations. Another aspect of contemporary design that I think is mind-opening, promising and will really be the future of degsin, is the idea of collective design. You know, the whole XO laptop, from One lotapp per Child, is based on the idea of collaboration and mash and networking. So, the more the merrier. The more computers, the stronger the signal, and children work on the interface so that it's all based on doing things together, tasks together. So the idea of collective design is something that will become even bigger in the future, and this is chosen as an example.

Original Text

And then also graphs by scientists, this beautiful diagraph of protein homology. Scientists are starting to also consider aesthetics. We were discussing with Keith Shrubb* this morning the fact that many scientists tend not to use anything beautiful in their presentations, otherwise they're afraid of being considered dumb blondes. So they pick the worst background from any kind of PowerPoint presentation, the worst typeface. It's only recently that this kind of marriage between design and science is producing some of the first "pretty" — if we can say so — scientific presentations. Another aspect of contemporary design that I think is mind-opening, promising and will really be the future of design, is the idea of collective design. You know, the whole XO laptop, from One Laptop per Child, is based on the idea of collaboration and mash and networking. So, the more the merrier. The more computers, the stronger the signal, and children work on the interface so that it's all based on doing things together, tasks together. So the idea of collective design is something that will become even bigger in the future, and this is chosen as an example.
