I kind of give the trackpad a pass, as it's not all that complex and most people end up using it for hours per day. It's a different case from doors and faucets that might be encountered by tens or hundreds of new people every day, who each only need to use it for a second or two.

On the other hand, anyone with children can vouch for how dramatically more intuitive a touch screen is.




My 3 yr old knows his touchscreen devices.

He will also try to operate the TV the same way, but only when he knows we're driving the HTPC to get him his kids TV show. It is communication, of sorts.
