This article appears to me to miss a key point: the "Desktop" is not your computer. The "Desktop" is just another app, one that only gets used very rarely. Technically, my computer has a "Desktop", but I never use it. I launch apps from a "Start" type menu (I run Linux, not Windows, but the Linux environment I use has the same basic setup) or from icons on my task bar at the bottom of the screen. I access documents and files using a file manager app. I surf the web using my browser. I write and test code using a text editor and terminal window. The only time I even look at the "Desktop" on my computer is when I've just plugged in a USB stick and I want to open it up. In short, the basic premise of the article, that we all still think of our computer like it's the top of an actual desk with papers and files and folders on it, is false for me, and I suspect it's false for most computer users today.
