I agree. The evolution of X into computer seems so 70. (it's like a book, a library but digital !). computer games is like an evolution of interactive theatre. computer search is like an evolution of a really boring besserwisser ( aka messerschmitt).

I think Alan Key somewhere talks about the chord keyboard. I could be all wrong but what stuck in my head was that machine and man both evolute together thus providing with new and better ways to interact.
