limit
As explained by founder Jack Dorsey,
“the particular constrain of 140 characters
was kind of borrowed."
“Basic phones allowed 160 characters for

left 140 for the content.That’s where it’s
all came from.”

69. Which icon?
Caitlin Winner, a design manager at _______,
was unhappy with the original X icon in the
company's glyph kit. It not only showed the
woman as physically smaller than the man, but
also with a chip in her shoulder so that she could
be conveniently placed behind him. "As a
woman, educated at a women’s college, it was
hard not to read into the symbolism of the
current icon; the woman was quite literally in the
shadow of the man, she was not in a position to
lean in."
She took the matter of the sexist symbolism into
her own hands and redesigned the icon.

72. Description of
what?
“A simple example of a good design is ______ for
computers.The diskette has a square shape:
there are apparently eight possible ways to
insert it into the machine, only one of which is
correct.What happens if I do it wrong? I try
inserting the disk sideways. Ah, the designer
thought of that. A little study shows that the
case really isn't square: it's rectangular, so you
can't insert a longer side. I try backward.The
diskette goes in only part of the way. Small
protrusions, indentations, and cutouts, prevent
the diskette from being inserted backward or
upside down: of the eight ways one might try to
insert the diskette, only one is correct, and only
that one will fit. An excellent design.”
