42 years and my only disbelief is that we aren't advancing faster in the medical field right now (Not to disparage those working in the field) and that we aren't doing more in space. Many of these trends were already well established by the early 80s.
If you want an inflection point, you probably have to look at when the transistor hit mainstream and pick someone who had already had some life experience by then.
I remember they were doing an interview with a guy who was 100+ years old (this would have been about 20 years ago) and asked him what he thought was the best invention. He said it was tarmac as before, when you came in off the street, your clothes were always dirty from the dust. Goes to show...
Mostly the auto-hiding of certain menu items. The frequently used program list was a much better take on that but was honestly only about 50% of what it should have been (though that could be maintained manually to a degree). The other one was removal of Recent Documents. I think that could be reenabled but I don't recall how. None of these are particularly major though.
OTOH, Android apps run non-root which is a large part of what it took so long for Microsoft to get around to. In fact, applications run with different UIDs depending on the developer but otherwise standard Unix type permissions apply. It's far from perfect but it's not as awful as you would think.
To be fair, the start menu was never that great. It was just better than what came before and went through a couple of improvements (and several worsenings) over its lifetime.
What it was though was better than not having it there at all.
And no, this making the less useful "start button" visual is not much of an improvement (though it will be for some).
For which the essential interpretation is that there is a supreme being who routinely shits all over you for no apparent reason. Must be something you're doing wrong, eh?
Accepting the random and arbitrary nature of existence is a first step a mature person can take in taking control of their life and actually doing something productive about it (or rationally choosing not to).
If ever there was an abuse of patents, this is it.
OK, there's some ways you could design key mechanisms that would be worthy of a patent but merely changing the shape of a current implementation is not a valid use of the system.

Andy Kaufman also.
Ug. Not even second with that. Mod me to obscurity, please...
The only way to win is not to play.

Except maybe Keith.
There's not much urban around here :)

Tap and hold the home button. Terrible that this is not documented really.

Or maybe it was just an annoying distraction.
It would probably be healthier for it if it weren't an institution.
It's none of the governments business. It shouldn't be involved in social engineering in the first place.
They've just got a head state on protecting themselves from the surveillance state.
The church lost control of the institution of marriage when the people with the swords and guns told them that was the case.
That does not remove your rights. The words you are looking for are infringe and abrogate.
People, people, calm down. There's enough blame for everybody.
Sorry, I forgot the "Bad things happen but they're for a good reason that I'm just too inadequate to comprehend" interpretation also.

Type "google is" into google. It's not the first result anymore, sadly.
And good luck watching that new pair if you end up suffering migraines for the rest of your life due to damage caused by the punching.
Life is not a Hollywood movie.
Nonsense. The truth is that in the modern world, you pretty much have to seek out opportunities to step outside your comfort zone.

Careful of generalizations. That's not the case around here and often the Walmarts have driven the local hardware stores out of business
You should really do this anyway. It's not like this kiosk really changes things in that respect.
