As a matter of fact, every day more and more products come out that provide for new relationships between people and between products that can be seen to be increasingly expanded peoples' control and personal value achieved through these newly emergent relationships.

I was simply pointing out that iPhones were not the first commercially available multi-touch screen. And either way it doesn't matter, because as you mention touch screens (even multi-touch) have been around for way longer. Which only serves to prove Gibson all the more right... ~bc - who’s saying they’re the same? I was simply pointing out that iPhones were not the first commercially available multi-touch screen.

I thought it was too early for its time, or just didn't like the idea of a machine deciding what I need to buy, especially grocery items. Now I thought to myself, what if the refrigerator can create the list, post it online and let my (private) social network have access to grocery items I need. They can have an idea of what they can bring next time they visit.

If $3,000, single-purpose, suitcase-sized devices from '05 are the same as pocket-sized $399 multi-purpose pocket computers from '07. Corrected I stand: <em>long</em> time. USB existed prior to the iMac too... but it takes proper application before it's truly available. Which I think goes back to your point: apply only when application is useful. Touché.

I think it's interesting to point out while touchscreens have been available for a long time, ones that accept multiple inputs simultaneously (multi-touch) have not. They have only been seen in laboratory conditions until the iPhone. You could say that <em>they</em> hadn't been evenly distributed yet though. More to the point of your post: a quick design tip - don't solve problems you don't have yet. I had a similar discussion about HTML email the other day: what problem is it trying to solve?
