A design thought:<\/p>\n

\n

Perhaps the interesting design aesthetic and trend is to make things more powerful and muscular, but in a smaller radius or footprint.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For example, this new breed of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153crossover\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153compact SUV\u00e2\u20ac\u009d cars. The Tesla Model Y, the Mercedes \u00e2\u20ac\u0153coupe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d SUV, similar offerings from Porsche (Macan), and BMW.<\/p>\n

With devices like the iPhone Pro \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the question:<\/p>\n

\n

How can we make this thing as powerful and strong as possible but in the smallest possible size and footprint?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

iPhone Pro (smaller size) as probably the upper limit. And with human bodies, to become more muscular, without adding unnecessary body fat or size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Lamborghini SUV?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The never ending quest to make things bigger seems foolish. Better to retain the same small footprint, but just make things more powerful, capable, quality, and strong.<\/p>\n

    Even with homes \u00e2\u20ac\u201d less square footage is almost always better, but to make things \u00e2\u20ac\u0153more quality \/ luxury\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is good \u00e2\u20ac\u201d like bigger floor to ceiling windows (maximizing natural light), improving noise sound and temperature insulation, higher end appliances and countertops and back tile splashes, higher quality kitchen islands, better toilet, etc. <\/p>\n

    One handed keyboard on iPhone<\/h2>\n

    A good innovation \u00e2\u20ac\u201d easier to use phone with one hand, especially when you have a kid (everything one handed with a child is good). <\/p>\n\n\n

      Strength and power over size.<\/h2>\n

      Bigger is often worse. Why the obsession for the big? Because in the past, bigness was a mental shortcut for strength. A bigger bill was probably stronger, and a bigger man was also probably more powerful. But the irony \u00e2\u20ac\u201d often the biggest guys at the gym (huge upper bodies with tiny chicken legs) can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even deadlift 4 plates or squat 3 plates. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m always surprised that the strongest guys at the gym don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look or seem<\/em> like the strongest guys at the gym. Same goes with rich people \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the truly rich are super low key (all drive Subaru cars, or maybe Priuses or Tesla\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s)\u00e2\u20ac\u201d the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153wannabe rich\u00e2\u20ac\u009d are the ones driving around in the flashy Mercedes or BMW\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
