An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

Paul "I used to be in Iron Maiden" Di'Anno's version of ARnRC has replaced GG's in my Xmas playlist, because the song's a banger. (Paul's versions of White Christmas and Silent Night are quite good, too.)

The idea of single apps is just a mutation of web portals.
