22. World Population Growth
At the dawn of agriculture, about 8000 B.C., the population of the world was approximately 5 million. Over the 8,000-year period up to 1
A.D. it grew to 200 million (some estimate 300 million or even 600, suggesting how imprecise population estimates of early historical
periods can be), with a growth rate of under 0.05% per year.
A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world
population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in less than 30 years (1959), the
fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987). During the 20th century alone, the population in the world
has grown from 1.65 billion to 6 billion.

49. FOUR MYTHS
Only experts create good designs
experts faster, simple and effective techniques anyone can apply
We can fix the user interface at the end
good design is more than just user interface
having right features, building those features right
Good design takes too long / costs too much
simple and effective techniques can reduce total development time & cost (finds
problems early on)
Good design is just cool graphics
graphics part of bigger picture of what to communicate & how
