Loved this article, made me laugh often.  Although, of course, he could've written an almost indentical one about the Internet in 1994.

Yep, 404. The term "Slashdotted" is now replaced with the term "Bitcoined" when posting an URL here causing the posted site to go down.

This article at least isn't blatantly biased.

I agree that we vastly need to simplify the UI & usability though. I know tons of people out there that the extent of technology they have ever been exposed to is their iphone, a Web Browser and a word processing program. For god's sake, I have a friend that panics whenever he can't find a document he wrote in his recent documents menu in word.

I thought that article was hilarious, only because it brings to light the current usability to the "average" new user and highlights the need for more development to bring it to mainstream use. Kind of like when I was the first person in my neighborhood to get DSL and I had to hook the modem up to a serial port and do all of this cryptic stuff on my computer thinking that my mom would never be able to do this.   Hey iphones and Android phones took over the world in a short time with an incredible amount of development so here we go.
