You are way more patient with bad technology than I am.

Awesome essay. I had already figured out the hammer part. That's only
the tip of the problem iceberg, but it's already more than 90% of people
realize. And I could have written the rest of the essay too, but only
for individual items--like ebooks. I hadn't put it all together.

Of course, nothing has changed in the 3 years since that came out. It's
gotten worse. I had a chance to try Windows 8 the other day. It was on a
desktop, but it wanted me to "swipe" to do anything. The number of input
"bits" is already much lower on a mouse than on a keyboard but they cut
out even most of those. Useful!
