+But there's something more profound that has happened here,
+  that many users don't even think about.
+We have switched our mode of interaction.
+
+With a mouse and a GUI,
+  interaction is driven by visual indicators.
+The position of your hand isn't meaningful,
+  because your mouse cursor could be anywhere on the screen at any given
+    time;
+      your eyes provide the context.
+It's hard to use a GUI with your eyes closed.
+
+But by hitting =Ctrl+F=,
+  we've completely changed how we interact with the system.
+It's now /tactile/.
+You associate a finger placement;
+  a motion;
+  and the feeling of the keys being pressed beneath your fingers;
+    with an action---finding
+      something.
+You develop muscle memory.
+You _can_ trigger this feature with your eyes closed.
+
+/(Repeatedly make motion with hand and fingers like a madman during the
+  above paragraph.)/

+But that's a pretty trivial example.
