An excellent piece which raises interesting questions about computer literacy. There's indeed be a generation of people before the so called "digital natives" who had to know how computers work. Are we loosing this by cuddling people with too much convenience? How much are we then loosing as a society?

Interesting points about soft deletion... its usual pattern might not be what you need in the end. The proposed alternative is interesting to keep in mind.

Too little too late? Let's hope not... now it's time to see radical changes.

Now this is surprising and unexpected... extremely ambitious as well. I wonder how far this will go, I like the overall idea though.
