I think your use of the word "primitive" is incorrect. Using commands to interact with a computer is no more primitive than reading words in a book to receive information (as opposed to receiving information purely visually, as with a movie or TV). Both have their place (syntactical interaction versus graphical interaction), I don't think one is better or worse than the other. -- Brett
