I’m on my way to a presentation given by an educational learning specialist from Apple, and I’m just struck wondering if we’re adding too many layers of complexity to content delivery.  Faculty, staff and students alike have to remember this and that password, that you can do X technique on a Mac, but it’s different on Windows… the list goes on and on, and shows no sign of stopping.  I’m a sys admin and have been for years.  But sometimes even I get befuddled at it all.

So I am asking myself rhetorically, are we adding more technology at the expense of ease of use?  Not a bad thought to have in mind when considering the presentation, I think.
