"This...is about making. Long an obsession of mine, it has always struck me that the process of creating and making finds expression in so many different forms"
— Jony Ive (from today's FT)
I remember salivating over the intro of "the iPad" and queuing outside the Apple Store for the very first ipad on the day of release (I think I still have it in a drawer somewhere - still an exquisite piece of craftsmanship).
His passion for the craft of 'making' clearly still burns on.
Just not at Apple (anymore).
What a guy.
What a team together with Steve Jobs.
I doubt I'm alone in thinking that the level of innovation at Apple has slowed since their respective 'departures'...
He ends with this sleight on digital intervention in the maker process:
"there are now fewer workshops or spaces to create and make. 3D printing has a value but you don’t learn much from just pressing Cmd+P on a keyboard."
