Aesthetika. we talk design as if it were something purely visual. yet, that is only one-fifth of the total. people tend to identify items so strongly as if it were part of them, almost to the degree where the items identify who they are, their personality or whatnot.
aesthetics is more than sight. it's more than feel. what makes an object lovable and comforting includes the sound it makes, the smell it exhibits, how it tastes. what does a laptop taste like anyways? part of a printer that makes it cool is the sound it makes. no doubt it can get annoying, but there's a comfort factor in there. perhaps it's not intentional when the artist made the design to include that particular inserting paper and sliding ink cartridge noise, but it's nice. without it, it would not be a printer anymore. design is quite an interesting subject, no doubt. i miss my pencil.
