“When we sit down for our coffee, we anyway place our smartphone on the table top and when we go to bed it’s on the bedside table and when we go to work it’s on the conference table or on a desk.  And the aim, the goal, the vision here, is not to modify your behavior, but to modify those surfaces so as you go through your day, your device gets replenished as you put it down from place to place.”
