Computers are a really great example of a technology that has gotten more usable across history. Few people today would be able to figure out how to use an abacus without some help, and certainly nobody would know where to start with a card-fed mainframe. Remediation often results in opening the technology to a wider, more diverse range of users. That’s not always true, though. Can you think of a medium or tool that because less accessible to users through the process of remediation over time?
