So... will advertisements stop people from using this awesome mutli touch technology? NO! It won't!

Actually, before pop-up blockers and adblocking extensions became available for browsers like Firefox, advertisements on a web page were pretty influential in whether or not I would visit the page with any frequency. It is precisely because we are bombarded with ads so much already - on TV, before/after movies, at the bus stop, on the sides of buses/subway trains, on billboards, on the sides of buildings, etc, etc - that I have absolutely no desire to see it even more. They already have advertisements on menus at some restaurants, and it ruins the dining experience for me so I don't go to those places often. Make those advertisements flash and spin around my drink, and I won't be a repeat customer.
