Well said Stefan. Of course, for the curious mind, a dictionary for
words like "losing" help "change" one's vocabulary and spelling for the
better.

The root problem is that electricity has pretty much overstayed its
visit and everything new that we have is ultimately and fundamentally
based around it. What the human race needs is something completely
brand new to explore. Change has historically happened when new avenues
of exploration become available to the general public. We're bored with
electricity, give us something else to play with.

But you have to remember that most people (80%) mentally refuse to
change or explore once they have a set routine. Until something better
than electricity comes along, it helps everyone out in the meantime if
each dialog fits the unspoken expectations of user interface design.
