For a wonderful and amazing treatise on good design principles for
architecture and civil engineering, see Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern

Bad examples of industrial design include:

	b) 90% of the wine cork pullers
	c) the IBM PC jr keyboard
	d) hand-held "food processors" (actual name escapes me)
	e) An incredible number of lamps and lights
	f) the list goes on...
