- Examples: coffee cups, glasses, scissors, and books
- More complex examples: Cellphone, birth control pill
- We recognize their simplicity
- Teapot problem: why is the liquid hot?
- There is trouble when asking a question that has only one answer
- Simplicity: almost non-existent
What is complexity?
- Complexity: highly developed
- Emergence
- Stacking: Simplicity (to complexity)
- Ex. Internet
- Binary
- Use simple systems to build complex systems
Simple Things
- Reliable
- Predictable
- Cheap-people will always find uses for them
- High performance or value/cost
- Potential to serve as "building blocks"
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"
