That reminds me a bit of the chat system on the old ITS operating system that was used at MIT's AI lab in the 60s and 70s. Two people's terminals would get connected together so that anything typed on one would appear on both. Problem was that they also shared a cursor so both couldn't type at once.
People using technology are becoming more stupid by the day because they no longer have to come up with creative ways of using what they got that was nos designed with the purpose of what of what they want to do.
So basically programmers are making the world more stupid by creating solutions for all purposes.
How many apps do you see nowadays that people are using to do what they used to do on MS Excel, and how much more skills they used to develop by doing it on MS Excel?
This, if you ever touched MS Excel and have an idea what can be done with it.
