The other thing that people MAY not be able to comprehend is that, for many people, the computer is just a basic tool.

We don’t want to spend hours mastering a new computer skill. We’ve got other things that we’d like to focus our time on.

I know how to drive a car. Don’t phase out basic driving techniques and insist that I only learn how to drive with my tongue. Sure. I might be able to master it, but I’ve got limited time left on this planet and I DO NOT want to spend it on this crap.

Just let me Google, FB, FR, Amazon, etc. Let me be able to make a file and sort my bookmarks as usual. Let me email.

Easy peasy...

Now I can go learn how to grow tomatoes instead of learning a new OS.

For most folks, what we now refer to as a computer is primarily a communications and amusement device. Occasionally, actual work is performed on them. All else follows.
