One of the limitations on laptop is the lack of USB ports in proportion to the number of devices we'd like to hook up. Chinese designer Gonglue Jiang has shown us an alternative plug on devices that kinda acts like a tag team - the Infinite USB.
It's definitely a cool idea, isn't it? The color coding on plugs will make it easy to identify which plug belongs to which device. Smart, but there are limitations to it, when one wants to unplug a device that is connected in the middle of the combination, you'll need to start safely remove all the device connected after it. and also a problem of overloading, one will easily blow the power adapter of the laptop if too many usb devices are connected. anyway, I'm glad that more and more Chinese designers are showing their talents and inspirations.I'd like to live in this glass house, a place in the middle of the woods that even has glass-based furniture. Damn Right! It would be so awesome to fall asleep looking up at the night sky.

How Should We Define “Design”? by Gardi Amit
Design makes something more functional precisely because of its beautification. That also distinguishes design from say, engineering, where something is made better in ways that have nothing to do with its beauty.
To me, design is best defined with actions as opposed to words. I hope I never find the answer, and doubt I ever will.
