17. Quote
“A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a BROAD perspective on the problem.
The broader one's understanding
of the human experience, the
BETTER design
we will have.”
- Steve Jobs
