"That's what you do when you sit in front of a TV...turn your brain off. When you sit in front of a computer, you turn your brain on."

I think this is one of the most important observations that I have seen in a long time about the future of this business, and many technology businesses serving the consumer. As Goodboy noted, knowing what your customer wants is critical, and often ignored by technologically sophicated developers whose brain is always on.

Take internet shopping versus mall shopping. Mall shopping is a social
experience that is brain dead. You are there more often than not to have fun shopping, and maybe go out to eat while you are there. Internet shopping is "brain on" no-fun shopping -- quite a barrier in my opinion.
