skimmed through the autobiography of the guy who invented xerox.
rather inspiring. rags to riches. multiple setbacks and disappointments. but finally did it.
it was just interesting to go back to the 'root', the source.
browsing through another book - classics of design. realised how we take for granted so many of the inventions and modern day comforts. Guess we seldom stop to ponder where they came from.
was just refreshing to look at the design icons and to read about their origins - tupperware parties, how did barbie came about, the coke bottle, how the name kit kat was born and the ultra-cool retro Sony Triniton TV set, Stacking chair and the Leica camera.
for something to be termed an icon, it normally takes a going against the norms which may... or may not be something well received. the sony walkman nearly never made it. so did xerox.
well... that gives hope... when hope is low...
no wonder God always told the Israelites to remember... the goodness of Him in the past... to gather strength for the future.
