I understand what you are getting at, but technology and complexity expand at an extraordinary rate in our world, thus reinventing new terms for old ideas is not an innocuous thing, it does real harm.<p>It silo&#x27;s people and ideas that should be cross pollinating. It raises the barrier to entry to newcomers, and probably worst of all it feeds into the cult of &#x27;newness&#x27; where no idea or concept is worth learning if it&#x27;s older than say, 12 months ago.<p>I&#x27;m not being crabby, I&#x27;m pointing out that there are over a 100 years of research and knowledge that are useful to help solve these problems which tend to get thrown out when you decide to invent a new term for things that exist already.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Affordance" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Affordance</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Human_factors_and_ergonomics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Human_factors_and_ergonomics</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Industrial_design" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Industrial_design</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Interaction_design#3D_Physical_objects_or_space" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Interaction_design#3D_Physical...</a><p>The interactions we have with technology are far worse than they should be, by and large and I believe that a good portion of the reason is that rather than standing on the shoulders of those who&#x27;ve gone before us, we become seduced instead by new and unpolished ideas, never stopping to let the old ones inform us.<p>I think this is part of the reason our tools for creating things with computers <i>still</i> aren&#x27;t as useful (in my opinion) and intuitive as this software (from 1963):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;57wj8diYpgY?t=176" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;57wj8diYpgY?t=176</a><p>And if new ideas are good, they won&#x27;t be harmed by a crabby comment or two, they will be improved upon and become stronger as a result.<p>Anyhow, I hope that at least communicates a little better the intent behind my comment. In any case, I appreciate the feedback so thank you for taking the time to comment.
