&quot;Nothing at all is user-centric anymore...&quot;<p>In my observation, this has certainly been the trend.<p>In my experience, in this climate you have to look harder to find it user-focused software, and to some extent you have to write some of it yourself.<p>This is because the software world has been flooded with &quot;easy to use&quot; programs that are either  located on third party computers or must automatically connect to third party computers in order to be useful.<p>To be truthful, I&#x27;m not sure that many users of today, i.e., younger ones, really understand what we mean by user-centric and user-focused.  They may think if something is made &quot;easy&quot; for them, then it&#x27;s user-focused.<p>But where computer software is involved, we&#x27;ve seen it is precisely the opposite.  If users want more control then they have to endure a little inconvenience, at least in the short term.<p>The easier and more &quot;frictionless&quot; the software, the more the user should understand that the software has not been written so much for their benefit as for someone else&#x27;s.
