This is possible. I agree. There was a post earlier talking about how well it would suit the role of 'computer for the whole family' (including young kids). Thinking about it in those terms, it does seem somewhat more possible, it also starts to bend my mind a little bit to consider just how deeply high-tech has embedded itself into our lives.
