Lots of the things this interface can do are actually fairly new. I can't stretch pictures on my coffee table. Besides, very few things are truly new. Most technology is incremental. It just looks revolutionary later.

Also, the model T topped out at 45 mph. Thoroughbreds can get to 40 mph. Granted, that's not exactly the average horse. But Ford's contribution wasn't speed. It was mass production, an incremental improvement.
