The Dyson Warning

10 Dec The Dyson Warning

I watched the Richard Dimbleby Lecture on good old BBC1 on Wednesday
8th December. Delivered in an informal but eloquent and sometimes
direct style by James Dyson, the inventor and entrepreneur who "mucked
about with a vacuum cleaner for ages" before coming up with a design
that literally blew away the competition, he made a strong case for the
return to design and innovation that puts function ahead of form.
Amazingly, he is the first engineer to deliver the lecture, but his
message to Britain was seriously and worryingly clear
