We should be very specific and careful with our words. pseidemann said "most humans cannot properly control a computer", which isn't the same as "most people are incapable of using a computer".

I would agree with pseidemann. There's a level of understanding and care and focus that most people lack. That doesn't make those people less worthy of love and care and support, and computers are easier to use than ever. Most people don't know what EFI is, nor should they have to. If all someone needs from the computer to be able to update their facebook, the finer details of controlling a computer aren't, and shouldn't be important to them, and that's okay!

Humanity's goal should have been to make the smartest human possible, but no one got the memo, so we're raising the bar by augmenting everyone with technology instead of implementing eugenics programs.

Well written but I disagree with the eugenics part. I think we can all achieve high quality of life with (very) good education and health care alone, and we have to. All other ways eventually turn into chaos, imho.
