“Lots of people think that consumers are really hooked to their ‘left, right, up, down’ remote and I don’t think that’s true. The videogame generation is very comfortable with a pointer on the TV. And that’s what triggers the revolution. For those of you who lived through the revolution from the PC to the Mac, it was all about the pointer. Letting go of the tabbed keys and going to a mouse was an incredibly radical user interface design 20 years ago. A similar design revolution is to abandon the TV remote with its 54 buttons and go to a simple pointer to be able to control everything.” – CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings
