Dear QS: Then, if you didnt find them funny I presume you are a MSFT shareholder. haha.
While I didnt listen to the whole thing I got the impression from what I did listen to that the purpose was to get people to start thinking about THINGS and how pervasive THINGS are. There are so many THINGS in ones live that probably there will be a never ending pursuit of people trying to find out just how these THINGS can be interconnected to improve the productivity of ones home and life. To be honest, until I heard his speech I never really thought about THINGS, I thought about specifics. This future is too broad, and too all encompassing to have such a narrow vision. THINGS are everything and everywhere, the point that I think Scott is making for now is to start thinking how we can improve the functionality of these THINGS. JDN

I liked his response on the Rukeyser Money 2000 show where he pointed out that the solution to the gadgetry problem is to know when to push the "off" button. If you can't, that's a personal problem, not a technology problem.

JMHO.
