Educated and Entertained by David Pogue

The Google Blog just announced that Google Video is posting videos from the TED Conference. TED is a high-profile conference focusing on Technology, Entertainment and Design. Being a fan of David Pogue's New York Times email, I chose to watch his presentation first. I wasn't surprised that it was entertaining or that he performed music, but I was not expecting the excellent illustrations he used for extolling the virtues of simplicity and usability. By being at one of the focal points of consumer technology experience he is keenly aware of when technology works and when it doesn't.
Pogue concluded with the challenge to designers, "Easy is hard, pre-sweat the details for your audience" because "simplicity sells."
This is worth 22 minutes of your entertainment and education time allotment.
