Design ‘We might think of design as a recent thing: we wear ‘designer’ clothes and sunglasses, crive fancy cars and watch TV programmes about designing our own super-moder houses. Yat, design has accompanied humans throughout their history. Think of the Egyptian pyramids, for example, the earliest of which was designed at least 4500 years ago. No one could disagree that the pyramids are one of the most amazing designs known to man. Then there are scientific instruments and fumiture technology. Almost everything around us has been designed: the chair you're sitting on, the brush you clean your teeth with, the mobile phone that is ‘always in your hand. | Today's top designers are well-known and admired for what they do, especially ‘when it comes to the fashion and home interiors industries. They make a lot of money, too. Whether or not you think this is fair when others, such as doctors and charity workers, are out there saving lives and helping people, doesn't make a difference. After all, every job hes its place in the world. And although it may not be essential to have that gorgeous new jacket or the latest mobile phone, it does make ‘our lives a little bit nicer, Not only do we want things to look good, we need them to do what they're meant ‘to do, too. And without doubt, good design makes things easier for us. Machines make the manufacturing of goods quick and efficient, ‘smart’ motorways tell us about tratfic up ahead so we can plan another route, and architects dream up the most incredible ways to make the best use of space in our homes, How on earth cid people manage without today's 'moder conveniences’? ‘Somehow, they did. Take sailors of the past, for example. What an amazing ‘experience to manage to eail the globe with only the most basic of equipment and ‘discover’ new lands and people! Similar journeys today take far less time and are far more predictable. Ships are filled with computers that help them to evoid the. worst of the weather, and high-tech cruise ships look more like luxury hotels. Their passengers can relax, be entertained and watch the world go by in comfort." 12 13 4 16 wt The writer mentions the Egyptian pyramids in order to explain ‘A how attractive they are compared to today’s designs.
