Simplicity is an illusion.




Simplicity comes not from something truly being simple, but from such clever arrangement of complexity that the myriad of spinning details are completely hidden under a careful exterior that allows for easy use.

Computers, cars, machines, the internet, cell phones, churches, businesses, buildings, electricity... none of these things are truly simple at all. While they all would appear to be simple to people living today, they are all actually miracles of complexity.
