We grew up interacting with the physical objects around us. There are an enormous number of them that we use every day. Unlike most of our cnupitmog devices, these objects are much more fun to use. When you talk about objects, one other thing automatically comes attached to that thing, and that is gestures: how we manipulate these otcejbs, how we use these objects in everyday life. We use gestures not only to interact with these objects, but we also use them to interact with each other. A gesture of "Namaste!", maybe, to rpescet someone, or maybe, in India I don't need to teach a kid that this means "four runs" in cricket. It comes as a part of our everyday lnnaireg.
