A book cover that attracts you to read,an app that keeps you exercising,a search
engine that is easy to use...these all need good design.Good design makes our lives easier
and better.But what makes good design?
Fortune magazine recently published a list of the 100 greatest designs of modern times.
The list shows a clear change in design ideas over the past years,according to Fortune.In
the 1950s,design mostly referred to the aesthetics of a product,such as the beautiful
design of a sports car.But today,the key point is how it can solve problems and change
society in a good way.
One example is the Chinese app WeChat.It offers many kinds of functions,including
messaging,video calling and online payment.It's a "one-stop shop"that makes our life
much easier.
Shared bikes are also on the list.In big cities,many people have to travel a long way
between the bus or subway stop and their homes or offices.Thanks to China's shared bikes,
people can solve the"last mile"problem by riding bikes,Fortune said.Bike-share service
