Have they learned nothing since the '80's?

Our current printer, the very capable Brother color laser printer (MFC-9840CDW), will print either single sided or double sided. But the interface options for selecting it are very confusing. Rather than give the user the option for "Single Sided" or "Double Sided", you are presented with this option (buried in the middle of a screen of other printer options):

Duplex/Booklet: None, Duplex, Booklet

Most printer users don't know that double sided printing is called "duplex printing" (just as they didn't know that PC LOAD LETTER means to add paper to the 8.5x11 paper cassette).

3D scanning and printing - several commercial services and devices are available now.

Quoted: Laser scanners with arrays of cameras can create digital models of objects that encode all the significant bumps, cracks, corners and facets of real things.

Quoted: The KeySpan USB 2.0 Server ($129) can connect to the network via an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and automatically senses the network's connectivity speed. The device has its own IP address, which is how remote computers on the network can access the devices connected to the KeySpan USB 2.0 Server.
