To make things worse UI is still a largely unsolved matter. Imagine being in the time of tillers instead of steering wheels but somehow splice in privacy and personal data. The more I read about this the more everything feels like a bad scifi novel.
What do you mean by "UI is still a largely unsolved matter"?
The way I see it, UI was solved somewhen in the 70s. Since then, we're only redoing the same building blocks with more or less glitter, and composing them in the same usual ways.
The problem is, really, that user-hostile interfaces are designed on purpose, to trick users.
