No comments on the simple power of the concave form?

WAKE UP!

There are hundreds of patents on the concave form from the perspective of appliance operators. Let's split that hair.

On one hand the concave form is an efficient way to display data to an operator. Let's say a pilot or a driver. If you drove a 1970s GM car then you know how it feels to have the center console tilted towards you. You had a driving job to do and the concave form helped you stay on it. The concave form, at that moment in time, was a way for people to work together. Drivers, pilots, and cartographers had fleeting moments together.

At night they would capture moments on bar napkins.

Now suppose that you have visions in your head of being as great as the inventors of the concave form, the automobile, and the control tower. Where would you, as a cartographer of the pixels, point people to so as to prevent a mess?

I am stuck at a dead end. I am a lawyer and engineer and still trying to digest the end of the road frustration with the marching band scene in Animal House.
