<i>It makes me think that we need a new type of class in schools across the land immediately. Electronic literacy.</i><p>Negatory. We need to improve our UI <i>metaphors</i>. In the case of finding something, holding down one key while pressing another has no parallel to real life searching.<p>Let me tell you a story about my mum trying to view a slideshow on a mac. She double clicked on one of the photos (double clicking didn't come natural for her, but that's another story). Then she tried using the left and right arrows. Nothing. I noticed that Preview was only loading up the photo she clicked on, so there was only one photo in the slideshow. I helped her by selecting all the photos and dragging them onto the preview application.<p>But select-all and drag onto an icon had no real life metaphor for my mum and I didn't even bother trying to explain why it worked. (Maybe if there was some image of a slide projector and she could drag each image into a slot...but then again, I've got a terrible UI brain...)<p>tl;dr: if the UI is broken, fix the UI, not the end user.
