About moms, cats and applications with rich, damn, opportunities

In the article “ The end of the browser wars ” I met the following statement by a representative of Opera Software:

We need to make the web so that, by pointing to it, instead of the phrase “Here I am, my mom and the cat,” they say, “This is an application with rich features”

Developers continue to smile. People do not have the need for "applications with rich features." Even if they really will be better and more comfortable with such applications, after all, they want to show “mom and cat” to friends. Or play a game. Or read jokes.

Just like people do not need drills or drills. They need to drill a hole. Just as people do not have the need for a typewriter, as such. They need printouts. Therefore, when printers accessible to the masses appeared, the typewriter market failed.

Someone says, pointing to his car: "Here is a car with rich features, equipped with the latest technology"?

What do people more often ask them to give: “minty gum” or “chewing gum, refreshing breath, with a stable taste”?

An ordinary consumer will never show “wow, an application with rich capabilities”, but “mother and cat” will be shown, shown and shown.
