I'm sad that you got downvoted, though I have a feeling its simply your choice of language, as your points are spot on. This is a wonderfully curated list of where computers have come from. But to go further and claim that we're all somehow fools for not exploring new ideas without offering any overview of what a new idea might look like is disingenuous.

Plenty of artists can dream up interfaces like in Minority Report, Tron, or Hackers, but to actually build something that achieves a human goal is much, much more difficult.

For what it's worth, I think the Self object environment, Squeak smalltalk and Flow programming are beginning to approach the paradigm shift the author hopes for. But in the meantime, I'm communicating with all of you in words, so I might as well communicate with my computer in them as well.
