I think your use of the word "primitive" is incorrect. Using commands to 
interact with a computer is no more primitive than reading words in a 
book to receive information (as opposed to receiving information purely 
visually, as with a movie or TV). Both have their place (syntactical 
interaction versus graphical interaction), I don't think one is better 
or worse than the other.
