Rube
Goldberg
Through his inventions, Rube Goldberg discovered difficult
ways to achieve easy results. His cartoons were, as he
said, symbols of man's capacity for exerting maximum force to
accomplish minimal results. Rube believed that there
were two ways to do things: the simple way and the hard
way, and that a surprisingly number of people preferred doing
things the hard way. |
