interfaces

1. since on computers we can simply cut and paste text, video, images, pixels, and so on in exactly the same way, does this alter our perception of real life at all? Are we too accustomed to this to be attached to reality?

2. the computer now is a multifaceted tool, equipped with programs for work, leisure, and both. As our society progresses and we get more computer/phone/camera/video recorder/tazer/calculator/etc... will we eventually end up with one tool that does everything possible? Will we end up with some machine that makes it so that we never have to leave one spot?
