It might even be useful as a newbie interface for people that have never had to deal with a computer however, I think the days where you have people with absolutely zero experience with computers are passing. Surface computing might have applications in situations where input is relatively simple such as scrolling around on a topographic map or exploring building plans (but you’d hardly want to create the building plans that way). Gee, I just thought of a good calculator program for surface computing. If this were true, then we’d all still be doing arithmetic using pebbles to represent quantities and moving them from pile to pile to do addition. I don’t think physical task simulation is ideal. Why is simulating physical tasks the ideal interface? Because it is familiar? Isn’t familiarity just being what one is used to? Wouldn’t that imply that other interfaces would be just as familiar if one were used to it?
