I am in favor of intelligent design.
What' s that mean?
It means - all design engineers - listen up.
Just because you can think of a feature for a product does not mean you should incorperate it into the design. Frequently we end users are annoyed by, or even harmed by these thoughtless additions.
Example - adding an SOS sending sequence to the single button flashlight. Stupid. There' s maybe 8 people left on the planet who know morse code. Why bother? The button should do two things - turn the light on and turn the light off. I don' t need the thing flashing like a disco on Saturday night when I' m trying to find the bolt I dropped under the car.
Don' t even get me started on car stereos. A fucking remote control? Seriously?
...
What design features would you be happier without?
