These days you do. We're at a transition these last 10 years or so as great as the one from crank-start to key-turn start cars, from regular steering to powered steering, and from manual to automatic transmission.

Even back a couple of decades ago I remember my 1980's Buick having shifting on the steering post toggles versus my 2000's Saturn having a standard shift stick.

Standards should change. No one is recommending to keep 1024*800 as the current resolution. I’m for evolution and for consistency. Not changes for the sake of change.

I think the better parallel is aspect ratio, not resolution.
