Exactly! Screens are so big now, they should pack so much real estate, but they just don't most of the time, and it's not even because of human eyesight limitations.
I don't understand how or why modern interfaces have less information density than in 1997 on 640x480.
Or why they are less customizable.
Someone said the use just the middle of the screen display is based on some studies of what people can actually read or take in, but I don't think I agree (hacker news isn't as limited and it works for me). But why not have 60 percent of our physical screens display off white blank space. /s
