I sat down at the computer and thought about what I wanted to do. I could send an instant message. I could participate in a chat room, post in a discussion board, or play an interactive multiuser space game, joining a team consisting of people from all over the country. I could read an online newspaper. I could send messages to my online friends, many of whom I’d never met in person. Whatever I did, I could interact with a flat-panel touch screen display.

我友善的橙光

我坐了下来在计算机上思考我想做什么。我可以发送即时消息。我可以参加聊天室，在讨论区发帖，或者玩互动的多用户空间游戏，加入一个由来自全国各地的人们组成的团队。我可以看网上报纸。我可以向我的在线朋友发送消息，其中许多我从未见过面。无论我做什么，我都可以与平板触摸屏显示器进行交互。
