http://www.ted.com The MIT Media Lab's John Maeda lives at the intersection of technology and art -- a place that can get very complicated. Here, he talks about paring down to basics, and how he creates clean, elegant art, websites and web tools. In his book Laws of Simplicity, he offers 10 rules and 3 keys for simple living and working -- but in this talk, he boils it down to one simply delightful way to be.

Does anyone else feel like he gets cut off at the end?

Every university has duds. It's an inevitable part of trying to determine who really has something to say and is making a contribtuion to knowledge, and who is simply favoured or is a flavour of this or that doctrine. To think that MIT isn't susceptible to making mistakes is to put it on an ivory tower pedestal. If you happen to disagree with my assessment, so be it, but compare yours to the more salient on point disagreement of folliguesooter. Is my english satisfactorily better this time?

MIT doesn't usually hire fools? Let me correct you sir, MIT doesn't hire fools.Do you work for MIT? No. And actually your English is quite poor. Maybe you should listen more and talk less.

i think it is a very good comparison between simple&complex and how to define it. And pointed out things that we cant easyly see or dont care when we see.

Ted people - listeners and talkers - want to get going right away. They are busy to the point kind of guy. What is this fellow on about? I can't believe he doesn't know anything, MIT doesn't usually hire fools, but he sure don't get it across. One of the poor TED lectures I've seen

Simple is great. Simple but not stupid

ok we get it, youre smart and talented and have a lot of money and dont have to work so you make stupid things like charts and scanning fries.

love for the Lord thy God is the greatest concept of simplicity man can know. understanding that we are small and weak seems more noticeable in small children than adults who know everything there is to know about everything. Jesus was simple, henry david thoreau was simple. love is the most powerful vibration.

the problem is in definition of complexity and simplicity and their relationship. I would say that even complex ideas are actually very simple from a certain point of view. One does not need to treat these as opposites.

is this going somewhere?...
