To: hattend

I made little sense with that sentence did I. Here’s the ideer again: Computing interfaces have gone in the past 40 years from teletype devices, to text oriented VT terminals, to icon driven visuals on PCs, where the icons still had printed names underneath them, to finally little more than block pictures of Windows 8 and smartphones, their designs reminding one of toddler games, and lastly the 140 character text limit of Twitter.

All of this parallel to the decreasing literacy of the populace. Unrelated? Coincidence?
