Gearheads are Luddites

[ from All Things Web ]

“In the latter days of the 20th-century, the World Wide Web bears an uncanny resemblance to the automated looms of 19-century England. With over 1,000 different clients, countless plug-ins, woefully misnamed `helper’ apps, and other assorted gizmos, there are a lot of points of failure. It is sometimes fragile, and can be remarkably easy to break.”
