Xerox Star interface design imitated the office environment, which Steve Jobs would steal for his Macintosh design. The overlap here was to mimic everyday life, which then changed the way we all interact with computer. The demo of the original Macintosh showed many aspects of everyday tasks like playing game, drawing, checking emails, calculating, etc. Those are the behaviors that shape how the modern interaction design looks like.
Layers that change are the interface design, UI element, color, CPU, etc. Those changes are meant to accommodate the complexity of the work. Even with the differences in hardware and software, there are some essentially the same like calendar, notes, calculation to name a few. Those are the built in feature that we all expect that every computer would have.
What I think is continuing to change is the applications in the market as a result of busy life style. Those applications are meant to aid users to keep track of their work progress, life style, diet, etc. It was the evolution that Steve Jobs brought to the digital world. It results in multiple interactions with laptops, smartphone, TV, smart watch, smart phones and so on.
