Technology that first found success in the workplace, has moved into the daily patterns of American lives. Web sites, MP3 players, cell phones, pagers, and other digital devices help families learn, play, and communicate. Increasing familiarity with electronic devices and the online world has given customers new expectations for interactivity. Email, chat rooms, and web browsing have taught them new ways to "talk", "find" and "see" what's happening in the world around them. Interactive Expectations describes how these consumer expectations of interactivity will impact and shape the new generations of "connected" personal electronics.
