  > Then a developer in the corner says, "Well, I actually built the prototype and it's working and we can all use it right now." Very nice. :)

  "everyone in the room, their phones ring as part of the prototype, and literally people would applaud that, saying that was amazing." It's actually a funny thing: you can do a bunch* of stuff with software but when you start doing things that go outside computers and websites, people start to think it's magical. If you make a phone ring, or if you receive a text, or if you turn lights on and off, basically if you act on physical things that people don't mentally connect with computers, magic happens. * well, at least, a bunch. Probably more.
