Evangelizing simplicity: BizzyBoard

Working in groups on new “stuff” yields people to create concept documents that often are impregnated with the terms “portal”, or “kiosk”, or “handheld” or “consumer electronic device”. I believe that this is because of people’s obsession with high-technology. In reality, using extraneous technology is like using a nuclear bomb to get rid of a rodent.

This elegant, *simple* product product bucks the trend. I think I’d actually enjoy using this– the tactile feature ascribed to “events” and to-do’s is a good way for young people to learn about time management. (wish I had that earlier in my life!)
