Have to stop, find the mouse, wiggly the
mouse to find where your cursor is on
the screen. Then have to move the
mouse over something, and click down
on the mouse to interact with it.

• Two finger gesture (e.g. Pinch & Zoom)
• Flick gesture
• Shaking gesture
• Voice

8. “To remind yourself of how important
sensing, effecting, and feedback can be,
think of the last time you pushed an
elevator button and the light did not
come on (presumably because the bulb
was burned out). The frustration is
enormous: did it hear me? Interface
Design and function are very important.”
Nicholas Negroponte, Being Digital

9. “Wherever the computer may
be, the most effective interface
design results from combining
the forces of sensory richness
and machine intelligence.”
Nicholas Negroponte, Being Digital
