Frank concluded that in the last resort “everything can be taken from a man
but one thing, the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given

Most designers are not specialized in anything at all, and can’t afford to be, because in a world of increasing specialization, the designer needs to be a generalist. It is easy for everyone, including designers, to overlook this, but it is at the heart of design as a process of potentially great social use. That potential is far from being realized”
