    It’s a terrible shame. There was a time when I hoped we would be able to reverse this trend and return our understanding of the consequences of our actions to normal levels,” she continued. “But frankly, it appears to be far too late now

          Or scanners. Is it true, or an urban myth, that TWAIN stands for 'Technology Without An Interesting Name'

            True as far as I'm aware. I also like the originals of DOS (Disk Operating System), originally QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System)!

              Although most people think of DOS as a PC OS, it was originally a mainframe OS and is now known as vVSE: DOS/360 and successors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Same with VM, most people think of Java VM or VMWare but the original was also a mainframe operating system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM_(operating_system)

                  According to Wikipedia:

                  The word TWAIN is not officially an acronym, but it is a backronym. The official website notes that "the word TWAIN is from Kipling's The Ballad of East and West — '...and never the twain shall meet...' — reflecting the difficulty, at the time, of connecting scanners and personal computers. It was up-cased to TWAIN to make it more distinctive. This led people to believe it was an acronym, and then to a contest to come up with an expansion. None was selected, but the entry Technology Without an Interesting Name continues to haunt the standard.
