Wouldn’t you really prefer to run your home and office life with a gaggle of well-trained butlers (to answer the telephone), maids (to make the hospital corners on your bed), secretaries (to filter the world), accountants or brokers (to manage your money), and on some occasions, cooks, gardeners and chauffeurs where there were too many guests, weeds or cars on the road? Nicholas Negroponte The Art of Human-Computer Interface Design (1990)
