Not a rant . . . it's the truth!
There are certain times when a picture and an audible description (like fixing the food chopper on the dishwasher) are very helpful. That is more the exception than the rule. The written language has a purpose. It lets you go back to it and it lets you think about what is being said. Does it take a bit longer? YES! The world needs to slow down a lot. I will continue to look for the written word.
The lemmings are all jumping off the mobile-friendly cliff...
Laurie, your rant was actually very well-reasoned. I think that one thing that has happened is that many companies are forgetting that the whole mobile-friendly thing, for now at least, only affects MOBILE search results. A lot of companies have missed that point. For the time being, there is little value for them in rushing to poorly-thought-out and dysfunctional quick fix solutions.
Also, a lot of companies are making the mistake of creating completely different mobile versions of their websites that are app-like and very separate from their desktop sites. They should be looking at redesigning their sites with responsive, responsive design tools and principles.

No arguments here!
Hi Laurie:
I don't disagree. I only pointed out that if you're in a market segment that is not likely to have a lot of mobile searches, it may not matter. For example, if you're a restaurant, it may matter a lot, but if you're an elder law attorney or a hospital, maybe less so.
I certainly think that it's important to design new sites or new site re-designs in a mobile-friendly manner. Every site that I have ever built has been based on mobile-responsive designs.
