Hey, my gf (25yo, ph.d in medecine), sometime try to zoom by pinching my macbook screen.. it takes 1-2 secs for her to realize "oh right, this is not the ipad". We always laugh of these moments :D

To be honest, I'm surprised there's not more touchscreen a little bit everywhere. I.e. On the coffeemachine, microwave, etc. It makes it so damn easier as you're not forced to use 1 interface to cover all use cases.. you can simply use a hierarchical smart interface.

My microwave is already "touch". Why would it need a screen?
I print everything on a color printer, and more than once I've tried to click on a blue link. And that was BEFORE touch screens.
Wait for the next macbook. Then it'll work.
