Here's the thought: Not enough effort has been made to debunk the 'chemtrails' of computing. I'll admit it - I knew academically that both iPhones and Android devices were little Unix boxes in pretty touch GUIs but it wasn't until jailbreaking a Nexus 6 and seeing the steady stream of command-line bullshit from the bootloader that I really grokked it. From one side, it's a shame that people don't have the motivation or interest to peek under the hood. On the other side, it's a shame that designers don't have the motivation or interest to close the hood with latches instead of explosive bolts.
