This is one of the most vacuous articles I have come across in quite some time, all wrapped up in rhetoric and presented as if it were some profound insight. It's not. Not only does it get the tech details wrong (POST allowed read/write capability pretty much from the beginning, <form> wasn't the start of it) but it would be equally accurate-- and useless-- to point to the keyboard as the culprit. Or taking a step outside of tech, complain that human hearts are the #1 cause of heart attacks & nerves as the arch-villain behind all physical pain.

I kept reading, thinking that there must be something somewhere that would tie things together in any meaningful way, but nope, nothing. It could be transplanted to The Onion with only a few modifications and fit much better there as some type of absurdist piece of humour.

Thank you - my thoughts exactly. Sadly, Wired hasn't changed much in the last decade :(
