A computerized method for use with a computing device, comprising:
- displaying on a touch screen at a first location a tool icon illustrating a tool formed for grasping;
- displaying on the touch screen at a second location an object icon representing a data object;
- detecting a touch on the touch screen by a user originating at the first location and ending at the second location;
- displaying on the touch screen an animation depicting the tool icon grasping the object icon at the second location;
- translating, on the touch screen, the object icon and the tool icon from the second location toward the first location;
