It's amazingly strange to me how words/phrases can be used with no
relation to their original meanings;
oxymorons I guess are here to stay.
Would someone please explain to me how some of these 'user friendly'
ideas came to be so called;
when, in fact, they merely complicated & confused,
ex. in vehicles, the automatic window rather than manually
rolling the window;
with these automatic windows, it is impossible to roll
down the window unless the engine is running -
which is quite frustrating and can be seriously dangerous.
ex. in computers, each time a new programming language appears,
the simplicity disappears further.
ex. in 'phones, with the change to push buttons - which then
became smaller & smaller -
it's nearly impossible to dial the number without clicking
on more than one button;
(when the pad of one finger touches one key, the nail
touches another)
ex. in televisions, with the change to remotes -
these keyboards also became smaller & smaller -
the on-off button disappeared from the set along with the
other buttons;
which makes it impossible to walk to the set to do anything
- must pick up the remote to do whatever;
and here too - it's nearly impossible to punch one button
without clicking on more than one button;
(when the pad of one finger touches one key, the nail
touches another)
etc. etc. etc. ... ... ...
