users can't connect the dots.

Indeed. Just the other day, I was explaining to someone how Google has all these various pieces working together.

I even used that exact phrase "connect the dots"

But it's like discussing politics.
You'd think I had called their mothers an unflattering name from the reaction I got from those listening to the conversation.

Especially considering the people most likely to use this service... 16-25 year old who don't have a care in the world.
Why WOULD they "connect the dots"?
The world's their oyster.

Unfortunately, the people i was having the conversation with were all over 35. (and supposedly "well-informed")
Sooo.... what does that tell ya?
