You can use GarageBand perfectly fine on an iPhone, no reason Audacity can't do the same. It's literally just a UI issue, easily remedied especially on the web.

Humans have a lot of problems dealing with those states! It's why they're so difficult; funny enough a big reason why car insurance is a must but health insurance isn't. It's also why I believe we should aggressively push for driverless ecosystems, as fewer humans actually making decisions on the road = fewer potential problems due to the perplex human states.
Of course we are still a long ways from that goal, but it's hard to imagine a future where human drivers are still a thing. Makes more sense for the transportation network to be exclusively driverless and all following the same exact ruleset precisely. Again, thinking long term here not the next 20 years.
Would have liked to see deeper dives into specific demographics, concerning both older generations who have more free time, as well as 13-18 year olds. Both groups are hypothetically vulnerable to such content for a variety of reasons and usually without proper supervision.
People underestimate either side. You can get very very deep in both of them, it's no longer just about putting HTML elements on the page, or sending back a response. They've both become oceans, from exploring 3D content to computing on the edge to an entire orchestration of tools to manage as little downtime as possible.
The weakening of communities has also made this much worse. Used to be you could play with the neighborhood just fine, if something happened one parent would tell the others or talk about it during a BBQ. Now, very little of that exists. There's so much animosity in communities. Leads to what this article is talking about, but things like NextDoor have made community building a sin. Everyone wants to be the snitch, the "community pillar" by becoming the epitome of a stereotypical no-fun-allowed police.
We've been living in apartments for ages now, yet we still struggle to make our neighbours that live 3 steps away, reliable friends. Everyone is just too busy, too distracted, too this or that. So I can't blame parents entirely for this dilemma we've created, we're all at fault at every level.
Canadian agencies getting shut out by Facebook is the shining proof of this. There should be no reason someone has to make an account with a foreign company just to get fast updates on what is happening locally, that's absurd.
Leads me to believe for a lot of people, the allure of Twitter isn't actually anything intentional, but just the combination of being at the right place at the right time - that feeling you got, the relationships you fostered. Just like if you were on Tumblr during its independent peak.
Instead talk about sports unions, like the NFL Player Association, and that usually gets them re-evaluating all they've been previously understanding about unions.
I know that consumers don't usually care about support for windows, as they just use random advice online to fix things, but technically if you were to talk to Microsoft for help and you are out of support, they will refuse to help you. Just like if you were to try to ask Apple for support on getting iOS 16 on your iPhone 5.
Unrelated, but windows update does use a supported device list, and they use it regularly for a variety of reasons one of them being to note when to release an update for users on X hardware. As they have multiple times for AMD processors. They also use it to prevent you from updating to a newer version of windows, and therefore ending your support window. Microsoft published lifecycle dates regularly so you can go check that out and see when you officially aren't supported anymore.
It's a challenging problem, because either attempts at a solution (being direct, or being indirect) causes a worse user experience due to expectations of linear progress. For example proposed solution 1 in the article would have you create some sort of animation or additional progress bar to let people know if something is actually stalled/dropped vs something just taking more time, you would still be lying to them, but it's for the benefit of user experience.
This also operates the other way, and links to your statement in #1. Most people want to believe in the idea of pre-determined concepts because it makes them feel special when they aren't living a lesser pre-determined fate.
There is zero evidence leaning to either side. It's much like the concept of god, where the only proof people can establish is that the concept exists therefore it justifies. This is a comforting thought to hold instead of sitting in the unknown.
We can look to people who have been adopted and how they feel about the situation as examples, a lot of people will continue to yearn for knowing who their biological parents are. It creates almost two forms of love, not lesser just different.
Unless we get replica births!
Kind of a big problem here, as you're defining the right way as also the way that frustrates you (and assumingly others) the most.
This is the problem, you are expecting something brand new and revolutionary while looking at the past through rose coloured lenses. None of that stuff was revolutionary! It was only so because you were in a stage of your life where everything of this sort was new to you.
Couple this with the fact that genuinely new technology is always berated at first, and you've got a wonderful recipe for aging pessimism.
Also disqualifying VR that way by stating we've been trying to get it going since the 80s is a bit silly. Most of the other "huge steps" we've made like the iPhone were too just incremental improvements from predecessors.
This is an important distinction, because you can delude yourself and your medical team into believing you are healthy because you had a clean scan x months ago, as part of your annual deep checkup or whatever you want to call it. Leading into that part of if your friends had waited a couple more months it would have been a very different outcome!
