I do hope, however, that kneadless breads will lead others to experiment with kneaded breads which can produce different textures and flavors. There are a lot of kinds of bread out there.
Bottom-line: there's nothing wrong with kneading, and nothing wrong with not kneading either. Great little video showing how they make traditional Sardinian pane carasau, also known as carta da musica.

New York TimesThe Amazing Matzo StimulusNew York TimesWhen Aron Streit started making matzo in 1916, unleavened bread was a serious growth business, at least on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

OK. But why? 
[A]bout another traditional, but more local cake – the St. Alban’s Bun. This is sometimes described as the ancient prototype of the well-known hot cross bun, which was once only eaten on Good Friday. Hot cross buns can now be bought all year round in most supermarkets. Even ‘gourmet’ versions are appearing on the scene. Heston Blumenthal’s Earl Grey and Mandarin Hot Cross Bun was recently launched by Waitrose, who also market another flavoured with cherry and dark chocolate. The British are a curious race. We allow most of our real domestic traditional foods to become totally extinct and then happily buy a factory-made one all the year round that was intended just to be eaten on one day! I am giving a talk on the history of bread at the Roger Smith Hotel, in New York, on Monday, March 19. It is a joint program with the Culinary Historians of New York and the Edible Conversations Series.
Wish I could be there. You should be, if you can. Rubel is the business. 
The white sliced bread man offers some historical perspective. From the racially charged Pure Food movement to the countercultural revolution of the 1960s, white bread has been at the spongy, store-bought heart of American food politics.
And I thought "all history through a single object" books were dead.

Revive Stale Bread with Ice CubesLifehackerYour bread has started down that inevitable path of turning into a brick only good for (maybe) making croutons. It might not be too late to save your stale bread, though.
Mine never lasts that long. And in any case, dry bread makes the best panzanella.

Here's Smithsonian mag on one of the spin-offs of factory bread. I still remember the wonderful slicing machine at a local bakery in London. Your choice, sliced or not, and a couple of dozen automatic knives would come sawing down on your loaf. 
Review of the film Bulaq
"Bread, freedom, and social justice’ has been one of the most memorable chants from Egypt’s year of mass protests. Although world and Egyptian media have been fixated on the symbolic Tahrir Square, little attention has been directed towards places where many Egyptians converging on the square actually live. Bulaq, only a few hundred meters north of Tahrir Square, is one such neighbourhood. The residents of Bulaq represent the essence of why Egyptians erupted in mass protests last year."
