������� Notes from Practicing Typography 003:

Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable:

All devices need to interact. If a thing does not interact, it will be considered broken. Over the past few years I���ve been collecting stories of what it is like to grow up in the digital age. As an example, one of my friends had a young daughter under five years old. Like many other families these days, they didn���t have a TV, just computing screens. On a visit to another family who happened to have a TV, his daughter gravitated to the large screen. She went up to the TV, hunted around below it, and then looked behind it. ���Where���s the mouse?��� she asked. There had to be a way to interact with it. Another acquaintance���s son had access to a computer starting at the age of two. Once, when she and her son were shopping in a grocery store, she paused to decipher the label on a product. ���Just click on it,��� her son suggested. Of course cereal boxes should be interactive! [���] The dumbest objects we can imagine today can be vastly improved by outfitting them with sensors and making them interactive.
