I enjoyed reading it and I borrowed the conclusion for use on my own blog. :-) Thanks for sharing! Terms like technowaste really catch my eye - in fact the whole post is brilliant.

If you rather edit my comment, I would appreciate it. Thank you. I am so sorry, but when in my previous comment says “meaningful” it should say “meaningless”.

Never consider something disposable just because you're tired of it (Law 11 (proposed): Responsibility, simplicity is at first an Ethic, that's later materialized in some useful object. A very simple object or device is meaning<i>less</i> without the corresponding state of the mind. Your book is great and clarifying from the start, when it says Design, Technology, Business and Life.). There's plenty more from my peasant family, with a knowledge so much like the one exposed in your book, but let's keep it simple. Congratulations and thank you for making contemporary an everlasting subject.
