Its a lot easier to train machines to behave like humans than it is to 
train humans to behave like machines.

Gack. I spend a large portion of my day, every day, figuring out how I'm 
going to be able to _not_ use the web that day. Some people not only 
don't use the web, but despise it with a passion. Let's hope that for 
both our sake, on the day we get to sign up for a neural interface, HTML 
and all its filth has disappeared.

Humans just arent good at this. We're analog creatures, not digital.
