I have to agree with Layback40.
I'm getting pretty intolerant of technology advancements revolving around protecting stupid people.
This is a typical example. Rather than go back to something which works, and everyone was satisfied with, no, we will just add more technology to make people even more stupid.
The truth behind most of this is more because some company is making billions out of it and it can be easily sold to the public who are addicted to technology, not because they really care about safety.
Makes me want to join the Amish!
