  • www.ted.com Great design is a never-ending journey of discovery -- for which it helps to pack a healthy sense of humor. Sociologist and surfer-turned-designer David Carson walks through a gorgeous (and often quite funny) slide deck of his work and found images.
    TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

    I can across this Ted talk a few days ago and will be revisiting it throughout the rest of my design career. David Carson is truly remarkable.

    First time I see a commercial after a video and not at the beginning. That is so great.
    If you want to see the commercial or not is up to you. that way you do not end up Hating the product or service advertised. Sorry 4 the off topic. BTW Carson is a MAESTRO!

    Right, you're making a point about airliners, which is mostly about creature comforts. The 747 was built on computers in the 70s. There's nothing magical about physics that it's just impossible to simulate. There may be some human error in which simulations to run, but it's perfectly possible.

    You're not getting it. Physics are very well understood now. Computers are only getting faster. And radios are well understood as well. It's not a huge jump to test a whole plane in software and remotely. Hell, you could practically just test it in X-Plane, and that doesn't calculate any of the strains on the materials or any internals.
