I think the only reason you visit an Apple store is because you wonder what life is like on another planet.
You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot, it actually takes it out of your hand, like it's hungry. It pulls it in, and you feel like it wants more silver discs.
A lot of people get really seduced by demos of the next display technology. I myself fell under that spell for about 20 years.
People, me included, have a truly emotional thing about this iPad.
I think when, like, things like 'The Wizard' and even like 'Tron,' when it first came out, I was a teenager, and, man, I really wanted to kind of just kind of disappear into it.
I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter. I thought that this electric typewriter was about the most fascinating toy in the world - I liked the little bell and the sounds and the feel of the keys and especially the erase key.
I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.
After a semester or so, my infatuation with computers burnt out as quickly as it had begun.
I was a technology reporter. And I think everybody who covers tech at some point or another feels like a little kid with their face pressed against the glass looking in at the candy shop and going, 'Wow, it looks so cool and so much fun.'
Technology is run by sex, because it's very important to people, both technology and sex.
