It's a rather blinkered view of things to think that the rest of the 
world needs to change millennia of precedent in order to make things 
smoother for computers, instead of the computers (and their 
programmers and engineers) using their ingenuity to make things 
better for the rest of humanity.  I'm saying this despite being a 
computer geek myself.
