1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

- Dalewyn 4y agoI'm early- to mid- 30s (<35), and I hate basically every UI shenanigan that was invented in the past 15 years or so. Which is to say, Douglas Adams might need to adjust the time window in #2 a bit.

Like when car manufacturers decided that knobs are bad and on top of people hating it it was proved to cause more distractions to the drivers https://www.vibilagare.se/english/physical-buttons-outperform-touchscreens-new-cars-test-finds https://www.vibilagare.se/english/physical-buttons-outperfor... Part of that is trying to have "one size fits all", why waste time perfecting design for multiple cases where you can just shove touch screen oriented design to desktop OS and "just" waste some space ?
