We COULD have had computers by now that replaced the concept of "file" with something like "object"....

... if it wasn't that the concept of "object" is so massively ambiguous and extremely tightly bound to every tiny little detail of the machine hardware, that we literally can't.

Which is hilarious because objects were intended to be LOOSELY bound to implementation details, but the exact opposite happened.

I want the computer industry to sit and have a think about that.
