You can clearly see how it is inspired by Don Norman\u2019s first level of visceral design, and how it utilizes some foundational Gestalt principles, helping achieve our graceful degradation strategy for pre-webkit browsers.

If they don\u2019t understand what you are referring to, they will not always interrupt you to ask. Most people feel embarrassed to confess what they don\u2019t know.

In other cases, it\u2019s a defense mechanism. Using complex words make people sound smart; make them sound like the perfect specialist in that topic. Which then enables them to charge more to solve the problem.&#8221;][tm_blockquote text=&#8221;Graphic design will save the world right after rock and roll does. \u2015 David Carson&#8221;][tm_heading tag=&#8221;div&#8221; custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text=&#8221;As a new technical term comes out, hundreds of courses, talks, e-books and blog posts start to pop up \u2014 claiming to teach you everything you need to know about `{`buzzword goes here`}`. You spend tons of money trying to catch up (\u201cearly bird tickets for only $999!\u201d). When you finally overcome your impostor syndrome and feel confident enough to repeat that term out loud, the first thing you do is to update your Linkedin profile with that keyword \u2014 eventually fueling that same anxiety in other people.
