<b>Ten laws of simplicity for business, technology, and design that teach us how to need less but get more.</b><p>Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We''re rebelling against technology that''s too complicated, DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte "read me" manuals. The iPod''s clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that''s simple and easy to use, but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do. In <i>The Laws of Simplicity</i>, John Maeda offers ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design—guidelines for needing less and actually getting more.</p><p>Maeda—a professor in MIT''s Media Lab and a world-renowned graphic designer—explores the question of how we can redefine the notion of "improved" so that it doesn''t always mean something more, something added on.</p><p>Maed
