What's amazing is there has been no 'crazy revolutionary interface breakthrough' since the early 1980s. I mean, the UI looks pretty much the same and contains the same basic metaphors, doesn't it?
"Intuitive user interfaces often use metaphor as an effective 'vehicle of exploration', according to David Siegel in Creating Killer Websites. His examples of metaphors include: 'galleries, TV remote controls, magazines, tabloids, store environments, museums, postcard racks, amusement pars, going inside things (computers, human body, buildings, ant farm, and so on), safaris, cities, and cupboards."
