I was in a book shop the other day and was amazed to see six shelves in the Computing section filled with "Dummies" books. Six shelves worth!

I occurred to me that there is something far wrong with a technology that makes so many people feel like a dummy because they can't use it.

Not only do computers still have to come with a manual, but there are huge numbers of supplementary manuals that you can buy when they make you feel like a dummy! Surely that's not a good sign?
