This rant is full of "missing the forest for the trees."

One example.

> On the library computer in 1998 I could retry searches over and over and over until I found what I was looking for because it was quick Now I have to wait for a huge page to load, wait while the page elements shift all over, GOD FORBID i click on anything while its loading

Which completely overlooks how bad search results were 20 years ago compared to now. I would rather see the right result in 500 ms than the wrong result in 20 ms.

Or to take that example even further, I can now perform that same search on my phone, anywhere, instead of having to travel to the library.
