Flat progress | |
I was recently sent a link to a controversy where a group of people | |
that flat design was progressive. They accused their opponents of | |
retrograde and old habits. They say, this is another breakthrough | |
the entire industry as a whole. Namely, a simple and unobtrusive de | |
It is important and necessary to comment on such nonsense. Because | |
believe that the world simply did not exist before they were born. | |
point is not even this, but the fact that the flat interface actual | |
every right to be called retrograde and even oldschool. In modern t | |
It is a pity, but the consumer is unlikely to know about it. Since | |
unlikely to master this Phlog. Otherwise, the consumer would know t | |
design is the day before yesterday in computer technology. This con | |
first implemented by Xerox back in 1973. On a Xerox Alto machine. A | |
consisted of those very buttons and menus that today excite lovers | |
"progress" so much, but in fact, following their logic of regressio | |
against the background of Windows 3x and even the first X, modern d | |
really looks retrograde. | |

But maybe Xerox is some one-off episode of flat design? Maybe after | |
until the very latest Android versions, nothing like this ever exis | |
again by! The 1985 Gem Desktop fits well with the progressive "plan | |

Not to mention Mac OS and a number of other systems. So what happen | |
Is flat design of operating systems not progressive, but of the yes | |
It's true! Following the logic of consumption and marketing progre | |
After all, modern IT cannot offer anything new. | |
So look forward to the return of the "newest" convex interface as p | |
perfection in the near future! Well, or at least used in the early | |
But who will remember this? | |
