Some mentioned to me recently that most teenagers may have never used a non-touch phone. It's obvious to them that iPhones and iPads are around and work the way they do.
But I still remember first using the iPhone 3G in 2008 and how it felt like magic to control a device with my fingers, to zoom into a photo with a simple gesture.
I wonder what technology will make them (and me too!) feel like this. Perhaps an electric car? I've never driven (or even been in one) but from what I hear they're much quieter. Maybe it'll feel like magic if I ever get one.
I remember going to the Expo in Spokane in 1974. AT&T had a booth there, where you could dial the same number on a rotary phone and a touch-tone phone, and it would time you so you could see how much faster touch tone was. As a 12-year-old kid, that was my "meet the future of the phone" moment.
