When phone cameras got good enough, portrait pho­to­graph­ers scolded people who took their own headshots.

And when the Mac got pretty good at ty­pe­set­ting, pro­fes­sio­nal designers pointed out that people who can’t tell a font from a typeface and don’t care about kerning should avoid it.

das sind natürlich auch alles „Stan­dard­si­tua­tio­nen der Tech­no­lo­gie­kri­tik“.
