I like this kind of thing, sort of an alternative history situation where for whatever reason one of those things got adapted as the standard and thereafter history was warped beyond all recognition. now you live in the typing orb reality. everything looks like the movie Brazil.

The days when you looked up a web page on a directory like it was a phone book, before search became a serious thing. Hell, we might still be in that paradigm if the web hadn't quickly outgrown the ability of people to write a relatively complete browsable directory.
