Now we're seeing inheritance and polymorphism overly used in so many new
frameworks, leading to large new vocabularies, just to describe the paradigm
shift promoted therein.

Perhaps when multi line terminals replaced single line terminals.  No more
prompting for one field at a time.

I recall one user who kept wondering why the cursor kept leaping from one
location to another on the screen when the Enter (Field Exit) key was
pressed.  He kept expecting a new prompt at the bottom of the screen,
wondering why previous prompts wouldn't scroll upward and eventually out of
view.

Maybe adapting to an optical mouse with a scroll wheel would be easier ;-)
