I think we all want that, or some form of it. But how do we get there? > We have large companies that are effectively general utilities that a modern educated person almost needs to use (email, linked in, to a lesser degree facebook) to be successful I personally don't feel like we're there yet. > I can't really compel them to change their behavior.

We should foster an open environment for others to build these workarounds, not scare them inadvertently while trying to solve the original problem.
