I agree with your statement. do you have a Q???

This is the electronic age.  Simplify your life.  It takes the edge off.

Sometimes its good not to overthink the obvious.

I like simple things too, basic sciences and even primitive machines. In fact it is a hobby of mine to dig up old processes and visit museums to understand and see these things in operation. I search patent files worldwide in search of clues to how some things actually work. I’m having to study Russian to understand their latest obsession with perpetual motion machines. Lots of folk name their thing something other than what it really is for the sake of novelty in a name. It sells better. 

Industrial zeal for the excessively complex is to keep nosey folk out of their designs. Very silly to me. Creatives Commons is organizing around the idea that simple things may actually be better for everyone. It is the inevitable, all time winner via open source software and designs.  

I agree, a good pair of pants are hard to find. 

Thank you for bringing simplicity back to our daily life.

You really have a lot to learn about what is simple.   It is too easy for too many today.  Many still struggle, for sure, but the need to succeed has take a big back seat to instant gratification. 

Simple solutions are the ones that someone tells you about and you can believe you didn’t think of that already. The Frisby, Hula-hoop, Slinkey, all so simple a kid probably thought of them first. It’s like that for every problem…..if all you can see is the complexity of the problem and that occludes the solution with a wall of complexity, think again. There must be a simple way to solve this problem that I have not seen yet. Building walls against easy answers makes every thing you do dearly impossible.  Let’s not break a sweat getting that banana skin off. It’s easier than you think. 

Simple is as simple does.

I had a old beer fridge that packed it in and no parts were available.

The problem was to do with the defrosting of the ice in the "no frost" section.

"Can`t help you" was answer.

Solution plug the fridge in to a timer at the power outlet, set it to run for 6 hrs then shut off for 1 hr .

Do this for twice a day and problem solved, defrost during off period, keeps cold 24/7

How simple is that stupid.

Bloke wanted to charge me $70 for telling me it couldn`t be fixed and to scrap it.

My name is cupid not stupid.

My father used to say all things are simple if you know what you are doing,so simple to you, could be hard to someone else

I have come across something that seem very difficult when actually was very simple, my solution was, keep on rolling and will cross that bridge when we get there.
