That's the IDEO
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Not many people are as in touch with the technological world as Tim Brown, director of industrial design company IDEO Europe. So we asked him to choose five of his favourite digital things (shown clockwise from top left):
1 US Robotics' PalmPilot. "Still the simplest and most useful of the small personal digital assistants."
1 The Apple Macintosh eMate laptop. "It shows what you can do if you let great designers have freedom to be creative."
1 Philips' Vision of the Future website. "Lots of fascinating future concepts for information products."
1 The Netherlands Design Institute website. "A great place for finding out about the future of digital design. It includes reviews of the last four Doors of Perception conferences - easily the most interesting new media conferences around."
1 The new Sony Mavica digital camera. "A bit bulky but incredibly simple to use, and downloading images with a floppy disk is a breeze."
