> What do you suggest? Everyone carry around their desktop computers and our CRT monitors like we did when we wanted to play Quake with friends?
The exercise would do people good. Jokes aside though, there is a nuance between completely inconvenient and designed for the marching morons.
You mean 80% of adults worldwide are “morons”? Have you ever thought that they may know something you don’t know?
If 80% of adults worldwide somehow became unable to tolerate the slightest inconvenience, then yes, I'd say they would be morons, but I doubt they are. I'm unsure where you're getting the 80% statistic from.
I used that little convenience of my smart phone and used the internet.

I am sure you are thinking I’m a “moron” because I didn’t drive to the library and use microfiche to find the information…
Or maybe you would have been okay if I used Veronica and searched Gopher sites like I did pre Web in the 90s?
