People will not need to learn how to use PC and the computer system will have effect on behaviors of user’s everyday conduct, like using a cup.

“The Cup” is innovative PC design in terms of following form and functions of physical and instinctive interface of cup. In other words, the operation of this new PC follows certain behaviors when people use cups.
