Computers are tools, not objects of devotion. I don’t read car manuals, until I need to change a bulb - the interfaces are intuitive. I don’t read TV manuals - the interfaces are intuitive based on past experiences. And I don’t read computer manuals - the interfaces should be intuitive. Something that the idiots at Microsoft apparently don’t understand.
Just because someone is fishing for a bonus for coming up with something new, doesn’t mean it should be implemented as the default. And if you professors didn’t teach you that, you should demand a refund. They were idiots, as well.
What the world lacks today is common sense. Certainly it is lacking at Microsoft. In fact, they, like many companies, would be well served by naming a senior vice president for common sense, with veto authority over all ideas.
By the way, pup, 30 years ago, computers had command lines. Programmers had to know how to write code, not just copy and paste.
I’m 36. I’m well aware how they worked back then, writing my first program in 1988.
New features are added to OSs. This is not new to 2015, and it isnt going to stop because a small subset of users cant deal with new stuff. Maybe one day MS, Apple or Linux will make a Jitterbug OS. Until then no amount of “get off my lawn” whining will force tech to come to a complete halt in development.
That is why your computer today isnt the same as 30 years ago.
