<span class=apple-style-span>On the problem with standardise technology
experiences: </span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>“My concern with new technologies is that there is
a danger that one is asked to be too passive. What I fear is if you're just
passive like that and you're not interacting or introducing your own version of
events, your own inner world, you will end up just as a reactive kind of
sponge, just saying, if you like, yuk and wow, yuk and wow.”</span><br>
