    I hate that this meme never explains what application meant ‘back then’
    I get that it’s a problem now, but if it had a clear enough definition back then, maybe this couldn’t have occurred the way it did?

      I always understood “application” like a gadget in the software world that just resolved one specific problem, and had that own definition till got distorted
