It used to be that computers, by being so imperfect, set problems for the nerd community to compete in solving. Who knows how many people learned to code because they once thought they could make desktop Linux usable?
But (outside of the nerd community) it’s hard to argue that having technology actually work as advertised is a bad thing. It just means you have to set and solve new problems. Yeah, it was more exciting when everyone had a common mission (“make computers do the stuff we know they should be able to”), but that mission’s over now, we won.
