Computer management is torturing users
Google says:
“With Microsoft, and other operating system vendors, I think the complexity of managing your computer is really torturing users,” Brin told reporters at Google I/O. “It’s torturing everyone in this room. It’s a flawed model fundamentally. Chromebooks are a new model that doesn’t put the burden of managing the computer on yourself.”
While I know where he is coming from, I really, really like to suffer through this (actually, I did not suffer from managing my computer for years. But that’s a different story), compared to have Google manage my computer.
The quote outlines the main problem that Google has. They believe automation, and their engineers, know everything better than anyone individual can. Hey, maybe they are right, but that is just to much 1984 for me.
