I'm old enough to remember the web being primarily text, and turning off automatic image loading being a good way to see fewer ads. I'm old enough to remember popup windows and popup blocking.

I suppose the underlying issue is that if something I don't like happens on my computer, my first thought is to look for a way to change it, and most people don't think about computers that way. I'm sad that most people don't think about computers that way.
