Engadget called it an infestation. The term infestation refers to a state of being invaded by another species. On one hand it implies an invasion, on the other hand it refers to organic stuff. It’s interesting to see our technology defined as organic because it relates with empathy, it’s more than just silicone chips - there is chemistry.

Last week, TiPb chose the word intimacy to describe the feeling of using an iPad. “If the television is a ‘lean back’ interface and the computer is a ‘sit forward’ interface, the iPad is an ‘embrace’ interface. You haven’t had a relationship with an object like this since your childhood teddy bear: you tote it around with you everywhere, you sit cuddled up with it, you take it to bed with you.”

It seems that the future of high-end digital products will bring an infestation of intimacy.
