I think this is going a little far. Saying that people are better off
being able to read is not elitist. And like or not, we who make 
tools are doing a part of building the world. Should we try to make

Computers are tools, and using them the wrong way can cause a lot
of damage. The most convenient interface for the lazy is not always the
best.
