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)
