Nope IT removed almost all options from users because they think that they're the only ones that understand how to use a computer. Anyone who's worked IT knows the average user does not understand how to use a computer:
* typing "google" into the search bar instead of the URL bar (when those were separate) * moving their hand to the mouse to click "google.com" in the search results (painful to watch) * storing documents all across the file system instead of on the network share (see previous example) * etc. ad nauseam - the stories are legion and it's indisputable that "the average" computer user does not understand how the things work

Reads like the writings of someone experiencing a stroke or Tourettes, probably not the effect you're looking for. Also, one usually tries to avoid "mouth breathers". That's considered a Bad Thing™ (unsophisticated).

Weird. I have a computer that I can speak to and it mostly understands me and speaks back. Harder to get "more human" than that (not that I use it often, but a modern phone has remarkable capabilities). How did that 40 year old computer connect to a network? Could it display images? Support a comprehensive GUI? Contain sensors for acceleration, radio communications, GPS? Was it *really* more capable than today's computers? Hard to believe.
Supposedly I can use special characters
