Perhaps I am not making my point in an effective way. While your 15

increased in leaps over the years... manual switches were replaced by
punched cards, which were replaced by ASCII terminals, which
ultimately gave way to graphical user interfaces. The reason your 15
year old ASCII terminal is no longer useful is because there is at
least one order of magnitude productivity to be gained by using a GUI
in its place.
This is arguable. ;) GUIs have their place, and personally I love
'em, but they are not the end-all, be-all of human<->computer
interfaces.
