What I had in mind when I was writing that was a story I once read of a user who did all of her computer interactions through Word (i.e. all of her emails were empty with a Word document attachment containing the text, among a few other amusing anecdotes). But yeah, the characterization is a bit unfair from that perspective.
- alpaca128 4y agoI know a few people personally who mainly used Word (and increasingly also web browsers) when working on computers, and it's sometimes obvious they view everything a computer does through that lens. For some people only used to Windows even appstores are a foreign concept, a relative's first impulse when trying to install a phone app is to open the phone's web browser and do a Google search. Those are things many recent UI "improvements" haven't considered.
