Why Design is Important

This post explains the importance of design by using the difference between America and Japan as an example. The author, Kathy Sierra, says that to save your job you should learn design because it's a skill that can't be outsourced or replaced. She shows photos of an American manhole cover and a Japanese manhole cover. The American one is plain, but the Japanese one is very elaborate and detailed. This example, and a few others, help show where design makes the difference.
