00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:31.079

30
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>more intuitive interfaces inspired by early two thousand software, making

31
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 1>tech friendlier and more approachable. The movement underscores both how

32
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.879
