I agree. Tannenbaum noticed this, too. He calls it the television model. Skip to 1:25 in the video below to watch him hilariously contrast the television and computing experience for the lay buyer:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jiGjp7JHiYs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jiGjp7JHiYs</a><p>Now, tablets and smartphones are closer to the television model. Mac OS X got fairly close to it for desktops. So, I know it can be done. There&#x27;s just this willingness to... DO IT.<p>In parallel, we can do the Burrough&#x27;s model for servers and the Genera model for hackers. Cuz seriously, what real hacker is using C on inefficient black boxes of black boxes? Do they know what they&#x27;re missing?
