That is an excellent essay, probably why the "artist" used a pencil in the first place. And Henry Petroski did a whole book on the evolution of the design of the pencil in the early 1990s: http://www.amazon.com/Pencil-History-Design-Circumstance/dp/...
……视觉部分，结果把自家产品做得跟他们眼里那些所谓“设计精良”的产品一个模子刻出来的。如果你想看个优秀的反例，感受一下什么叫极其精妙且底蕴深厚的好设计，去读读亨利·佩特罗斯基的《铅笔：设计与环境的演变史》（The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance）。
…visual part, and make their product look just like other products that they think are well designed. If you want a good counter-example, about good design that is very subtle and runs very deep, read "The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance" by Henry Petroski.
Henry Petroski's excellent book The Pencil[1] uses the same subject to explore the history of the pencil's development into the common artifact we know today. [1]http://www.amazon.com/The-Pencil-History-Design-Circumstance...

下次逛科技类书店时，我强烈推荐亨利·佩特罗斯基关于铅笔工程演进的大部头巨著：《铅笔：设计与环境的演变史》（The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance）。我虽然没能一口气读完整本，但它的调研考证做得极其详实。
Next time you are browsing in a technical bookstore, I recommend Henry Petroski's tome on engineering w.r.t pencils: "The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance". I couldn't get through the entire book but its exhaustively researched.
那篇文章写得太棒了，可能也是那位“艺术家”当初之所以选择用铅笔的原因。亨利·佩特罗斯基（Henry Petroski）在90年代初还专门写过一整本书讲铅笔设计的演变过程：http://www.amazon.com/Pencil-History-Design-Circumstance/dp/...

亨利·佩特罗斯基的佳作《铅笔》（The Pencil）[1]就是围绕同一个主题，探讨了铅笔是如何一步步演变成我们今天所熟知的日常物品的。[1]http://www.amazon.com/The-Pencil-History-Design-Circumstance...
