SUPER HYPERCUBE (by PHIL FISH)

Interesting and, for the most part, a vast improvement on the original garish design. The only thing is, this philosophy only really works when the minimalist package is set amidst a sea of over-designed crap (see iPod, apple).

A Social Media warning from 1952? Listen to “The Snowball Effect” a futurist short story by Katherine MacLean. 

I remember reading this as a child, lost until @trevorgourley found it for me again. It popped into my head after (yet another) conversation at work about facebook. A cautionary tale, quite funny, a little scary and read in the style of an old radio play
