>If nothing else I'd like it if operating systems and web browsers helped me be less distracted and frenetic, instead of encouraging exactly that multi-tasking freneticism. When I opened my phone or computer, it'd be nice if it was constrained to operate in a mode purpose-built for whatever task I intended to use it for.
I've often had this though. The short answer is that it isn't yours.
As a joke I proposed a sausage shaped phone that vibrates. That way if you happen to need or want a vibrator you have it in your hand already. It sounds stupid I know but phones are porn mags and slot machines too. For those with a gambling problem the usability of a work device that is also a casino should probably be expressed as a negative score. When I first held a smart phone I asked how to use it as an mp3 player. Today it still can't compete with a cheap mp3 player.

Long ago I read a story about a family that published and printed a weekly newspaper [sick] just for the 5 of them. It had articles looking back on the previous week and ones about things scheduled for this week. Members of the family would submit articles and the mum stitched everything together into the print.
I think with llm we can print a daily report? You can scan it too but you have to boot up a computer and launch applications which defeats the point.
Maybe the trick is to have big buttons that connect a bootable medium (with a single purpous OS) and start the computer.
