Another excerpt:
When something works well, you can feel it; there is a sense of
rightness about it. We call that rightness beauty, and it ought to be the
single most important element of design.
To which I would add . . . and of everything else.
Gelernter brings the MOQ to hi-tech.

My mind is so latinized I keep seeing your name as meaning something
"silver".
Obviously not but it drives me a little nuts :)
To which I would add to your eminable post, that it ALREADY is an important
element of design. In fact, it is the only element. Beauty as the author
is describing
is a function of Quality. The only thing missing is the "awareness" of the
beauty/
quality in every "element of design". What he should have said is that
"beauty
should be the most important element of design to look for".
