There’s this continual push to have everything digital. Digital TV, mp3′s, e-books, movies on your iPod, etc. It seems as if the goal is to move from physical copies of things to only having them “exist” digitally. That being said, I don’t think actual books are going to disappear anytime soon… but still.

The interesting thing is that even as we’re digitizing everything, we still want to interact with it in the “traditional” sense. We want to be able to touch, pull, push, drag, and draw. Would the iPhone be as successful without the multi-touch functionality? Maybe, but it would certainly be very different. Look at Microsoft’s Courier. Purely digital content, but interacted with in the same way as a traditional journal.

Where are we heading with this? Minority Report anyone?
