I think it's quite natural to base your thinking on your current use case. In the 90s we had a discussion about something involving SMS on IRC, and soon suddenly pretty much all the american people decided it was the most stupid thing they've ever heard of and such a thing could never take off in the US.

These were gadget happy geeks on IRC mind you. There are also the famous Slashdot iPod comments. Once the apple fans have gotten used to the larger screens they will think it was the way Jobs intended.

This can be seen again and again in everything from politics to religion .. to tech (which is not far from either nowadays, right?).
