Notes

Things are never easy. Make it Work. Nothing is in design perfect, but will evolve to it in time.

— John van Schaijk

We are no longer bored these days; before the era of mobile devices and social media, you had a moment to think, which could lead to wonderful new ideas, big or small.

Nowadays, people scroll through trashy videos on social media.

We have made significant progress!

Compliance rules are the foundation, but common sense is what makes it workable.
