Yes, but they don't have to be very conductive. It obviously works on bananas, for example. And water. And a tabletop that does not appear to be made of metal. In the end, how could anything transmit data over a non-conductive medium? That's physically impossible. Well . . . maybe if you had a Quantum Tunneling Device it could be done.  ;D

So the springs in your couch detect your fat ass rather than the cushion itself.  We are surrounded by conductive surfaces and your entire body is one.  The sensor can be calibrated to tell what sort of non conductive item you're interacting with based on interuption in your electronic field.

Wait, so you're saying that the computer isn't self aware and only interprets electrical impulses via a strict set of complex programing cues?

Nevermind.  I thought this was cool but you've convinced me.  Somebody wake me when the computer can philosophically explain why the hand is in the water.

Asses.
