“Creativity is just connecting things,” Jobs told Wired magazine. “When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. . . . Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.”
再过一周，我就将离开UNstudio阿姆斯特丹总部，到其上海分部了，鉴于上海分部目前还不承担设计任务，因此可以视为我UNstudio参与设计的体验即将告一段落。这个实习，原定3个月，后来被要求延长到了6个月，后来又延长到9个月，现在看来最终大概有11个月——那天一问，发现我的合同已经到了9月份了，赶紧声明不能这么长，我8月得回学校了。
