man imagine her making the art for a pixel art game

"The real San Francisco" lol I thought the same thing why did they recycle that name? But also Franciscan Sans would have been the BEST name for that font

Its so cool to use something you created many many years ago.

They thought it was "fast". But I guess maybe we're used to instantaneous now and forgot what fast means when related to a computer.

:n)

Wonderful talk. So many good insights - especially hearing about the thoughts on icons from a pioneer at the birth of the graphical user interface. Much more pure than what we have today. And then 32:20 - I feel exactly the same, So happy to have Susan reflect on this. 15 years I worked for a company, the last ten as being the UI/UX lead for everything we did. Then I turned freelancer and I was so much more relaxed with regards to the outcome. I did better work as a freelancer, because the overall conditions were better. But I also felt more at ease with things not making it into the final product. You enjoy the process, you save good ideas that were not used for another time and the next project can be just around the corner. Whereas being part of a company you are so much more linked to the outcome in a stressful way. Everything you do in the future depends on what is decided now, both good and bad.

If this was shot in 2020 the camera “operator” should be also.

she is too cool

I haven't heard of this genius till yesterday. I watch some retrocomputing videos and RUclips suggested me that "this is what we call a window" video. I'm so glad I clicked.

Imagine being such a useless CEO that you reject a design by Susan Kare!

She was so smok'n hot back then. Would loved to have met her.

Loved it, Susan is awesome. I wish they'd split the screen and have her on one side and her screen always shown on the other side. So many precious slides missed.

Just as pretty as she was in the 80s!!

She made Chicago font… !

The famous W font...Chicago 😊

Thanks!

Annoying having ignorant bastards in the audience laughing every other minute.

Why aren’t all the slides being shown? Why does the director keep switching back to Susan speaking, missing out on the slides that illustrate what she’s talking about?

Susan Kare created iconic icons (sic). A genius of UI and UX. She left her mark on computer history.

I love her sense of humor and playful self deprecation. What an amazing person, so intelilgent yet humble and accessible. I wish I'd had a role model like Ms Kare when growing up. I wish even more I'd chosen design/coding/tech for a career.

Why do I love this person?

what? I own a vintage hangul typewriter & it can literally type batchim, just as modern digital computers can. to type 한글 you have to press ㅎ+(batchim(shift key))+ㅏ+ㄴ ㄱ+(batchim(shift))+ㅡ+ㄹ in that order. we are lucky that we could give up chinese characters whereas japanese with so many homophones, couldn't

His arguments against discussion about chinese language reform also inconveniently would have proven that king Sejong, who created the brilliant Hangul system, was somehow racist. No dude, discussing costs and benefits of different writing systems, debating strategies to improve convenience and efficiency aren't racist. You can't go back to middle ages Korea and correct King Sejong to your way of thinking. He and every group has the right to discuss its own future and alter it if they choose. Your attempts to reinterpret legitimate discussions made by independent nonwestern people are super colonialist and also just wrong. Hangul is good; pointing out that hanzi can be a bit inconvenient isn't racist. It's true. Yet they have other unique advantages, and here we are

Sorry dude, your way of judging Remington and those other type of other companies makes no sense. First you claim that they actively excluded Chinese and you blame them for that. Then you talk about how they did try to support Chinese and you blame them for failing. I don't understand what would you have them do? So the fact that somebody in the West made an English typewriter for their own language and then started a company and then try to support other languages and failed somehow, that makes that group guilty? That doesnt make sense. If China wanted something they can make it themselves.

It is so ridiculous to say that the invention of the qwerty typewriter actively excluded 600 million Bengali speakers. That is insane. That's not how the world works

Yep wait for it ... 20:00 he holds the querty typewriter responsible for excluding vast majority of people on earth This kind of rhetoric is not realistic. If anything, those groups themselves are responsible for not having their own typewriters. The fact that an English speaker made up a typewriter did nothing to harm them. Does he think this first random guy somehow was prejudicial in not adding right to left support to the first primitive typewriter? it's just so ahistorical and conspiratorial. Inventors in the rest of the world were still free to do whatever they wanted. But you know with a guy like this he's eventually going to come around to making those distorted claims. How else does someone like that become a professional at Stanford in today's day and age?

At around 40:55, the speaker makes a mistake saying: "Vietnamese belongs to the same language family as Chinese". Chinese is within the Sino-Tibetan language family, whereas Vietnamese belongs to the Austroasiatic language family.

This is very insightful, and despite her somewhat self-effacing nature, she speaks volumes regarding how to think of design. I especially like her thoughts regarding understanding the happy Mac and how simplicity creates universality. This is food for thought regarding how we communicate today.

This is beautifully done... I have to visit!

Sbonge 🙌🏾

That was one of the best things I've heard in years. What a brilliant guy.

Joumana! Amazing work especially the traditional.

This is especially more relevant in the age of AI

Can anybody refer to the book she refers to when she answers the question about inclusivity?

Her mannerisms are so unique...

Great lecture! Professor Drucker is amazing. So grateful for Letterform Archive and their supporters.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

This lecture is amazing and actually helped reinforce what I learned in Jing Tsu’s book KINGDOM OF CHARACTERS.

She is still cute

Japanese writing, which is a variant of the same script, also uses logographs.

Thank you for this and all the other fascinating content this channel provides. As a child of the 70s and 80s in the SF Bay Area, this was a great walk down memory lane and tech history lesson.

Thank you so much Ben!! fascinating - I've made the computer type journey myself over 40 years and your summary is complete and so edifying!!! All the very best for your future work!!

Bravo 👏🏽

So incredibly interesting
