Does it really need to be... (Score: 2, Interesting) by konomi@pipedot.org on 2014-10-23 05:32 (#2TM5) Does google mail need to be even more simple? It seems simple enough but I'm not exactly the "Can you dumb that down for me to my level?" type of person. The way technology is being directed at the moment by many companies reminds me of the jokes about an Apple device that only has a single button for simplicity. I dread a future where everyone has the devices they used dumb down so they can understand them strait away instead of elevating themselves to understanding their device, and perhaps by extension the world around them more.

Think of mailing lists. Someone emails the same obscure behavior of a product and your email client finds the related emails automatically. So you can respond back, see this email from a year ago that solved your issue without having to do the search yourself. That would be awesome ( but unfortunately difficult for a machine to do automatically) Re: Does it really need to be...
