Less Is More
“Less is more” is a phrase and a principle originated and frequently used by architects since 1855.
Its power comes from one simple truth – cut away all inessentials leaving only what is necessary.
This concept had a profound impact on the famous German architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe.
He is quoted as saying, “I will remember these lines [about “less is more”] until the day I die.”
Today, “less is more” has been adopted by people from all walks of life.
Minimalism (less is more) is a style of art developed in the 1950s and ’60s which emphasized extreme simplification of form and color, using a few simple shapes and colors.
Minimalism is also a modern school of thought and a way of life practiced by many people.
It involves ridding oneself of excess possessions, activities and complexities in favor of focusing on what is most important.
The idea is that living one’s life this way will result in greater happiness, fulfillment, and freedom.
For example, having fewer possessions translates to more living space and less clutter and confusion.
And reducing inessential or low-priority tasks can make time for things that truly matter.
This frees time, energy and focus for a more in-depth approach to each task, and can unlock a fuller potential in specific fields.
Similarly, social media has made it easier to be “friends” with hundreds or even thousands of people without knowing any of them very well.
While keeping all our many contacts, we can still focus more intensely on those who matter the most.
Further, the apparency of being busy can sometimes seem more important than actually getting things done.
A project that should take two hours can consume a whole day when combined with unnecessary tasks.
Writers can also apply this principle by removing unnecessary sentences and even entire paragraphs to ensure each line in their book is essential.
It might be said that ExoTechnology is the ultimate application of “less is more” in the fields of computing and electronic communications.
Huge areas of unnecessary, false, and destructive data have vanished from computing.
The power of this release of simplicity into the world will make it possible for billions of people to enter into a new age of communication and prosperity.
