Response to "The Desktop"

I think it's interesting how the author talks about how malls were built in a marketing sort of sense to keep consumers buying. Next, the thought of how the desktop was established by accident is cool but these days you get use to it becuase that's how a lot of inventions happened. However, the establishment of the mac was good marketing because the way they approach it especially with the slogan and how it works, in terms of design and simpility, is why it is still so popular today. I agree with the comparison of how he talks about the desktop and communities and how it could be looked past the whole just a child's toy or video games that they referred to.
