Yes and no. Your statement is true about under-the-hood stuff, but false about user interfaces. Your phone interface is not like Windows 95, still less like a green screen terminal talking to a mainframe.

LOL. Downvoted? I think most people browsing HackerNews will not be freaked out by minor UI changes 30 years from now. Even a 3 year old child can figure out how to use an iPad.

You say "even a three-year old" as if three-year olds aren't hyperspecialised learning machines.

I'm 34 and already sometimes freaked out by minor UI changes.

Stop freaking out. It's just a UI.
