Once you've got rid of #filenames, #folders, #applications, ... you will find much room for coming up with something fundamental new. This
time without adapting humans for the computer but the otherwise round: creating the ultimate digital tool for the humans.
This can never be reached by an evolutionary process like suggested in the article.
I disagree with the judgment that we tried hard.
There's no incentive for a revolution. No one is able to start this process. We're pretty much stuck.
This is not the top of the IT industry. We're still in its stone age and made a situation where any fundamental change is a downside somehow. A local optimum but never ever the global one, if you like.
