"We're the people with the smile on the box. We're the re-inventors of normal. We dream of things that change your life, that disappear into your everyday. Of making the revolutionary, routine. Our accomplishments are things you barely think about, but can't imagine not having. Connecting your mouse to your front door was our Moon landing.
