Micro-movement refers to small shifts. Kim Yong-woon, who authored the book “History’s Counterattack,” states that before a state changes, an ambiguous phase occurs during the process. This is called ‘micro-movement,’ and he argues that a rigid organization that suppresses this micro-movement will ultimately lead to frustration or catastrophe. He explains that permitting micro-movement equates to autonomy, and an open organization that allows this fosters ‘self-organization’ and the ‘emergence of creativity.’ He also mentions that human ability is defined as pattern recognition, which helps distinguish between ‘trivial’ and ‘essential’ elements. It is believed that when human activity reaches a critical point, key insights can be derived from seemingly trivial details. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Most of the time, experts are individuals who make a living by simplifying complex concepts. In other words, an expert serves as a commentator or interpreter. Positions that readily clarify intricate topics often exist in fields filled with conflict or dissatisfaction, as well as those that engage in productive activities. Lawyers and politicians represent the former category, while media professionals belong to the latter. The degrees of difficulty in complexity frequently create a demand for certain jobs, which also presents a business opportunity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Good design balances "form follows function" and "function follows form. An example of a design where form follows function is an airplane. An example of a design where function follows form is a doorknob on one side of a sliding door that opens only in one direction. It doesn't matter which came first, the chicken or the egg. The more you understand the technology, the better the design will be. With their many features, smartphones have simplified their form with touchscreen functionality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
