Tog's Paradox

The examples he gives aren't very clear. Let's just state one that's fairly obvious to me:

Back in the day, someone introduced tabs in browsers that made it possible to browse several websites in a single browser window. People loved it so much that they started running browsers with dozens of opened tabs. But then this caused more pain, because now people had too much tabs to navigate. And this sparked the creation of tab managers, which introduce more complexity in how people browse the web than they used to.

A couple of decades ago, browsing the web was considered a specific "activity" that you do on a computer for a specific need, and then and close the browser window when you're done.

A few decades earlier, using a personal computer at all was considered to be a specific activity, and people didn't really "know they needed" to have multiple applications running at the same time.

Tog's paradox seems to explain this evolution really well.
