This used to be our future. Vision Videos if the 1980s + ’90s. Today we can contemplate on these concepts b/c not even a single video was reaching out as far as 2024.

Happy new year!!!

Link fixing and minor updates on:
• HCI Vision Videos https://mprove.de/script/06/foxp2/visionvideos.html

• Apple Knowledge Navigator Videos (plural!) https://mprove.de/script/88/apple/knowledgenavigator.html

@andresmh Good point. Before wondering why_ what is the last one you would count?
I've just added to the list. (mind, these are not all vision videos that I praise.)

The first message between two computers on ARPANET was sent #OTD in 1969. The “LO” of “LOGIN” was successfully transmitted and then one of the systems crashed.

"Designing Designers" by J.Baldwin in #WholeEarth Review, Summer 1995.
"How do you become an ecological designer? Start with education, of course, but you won’t find it in many design schools (yet). Most offer excellent training ins fashion and style – how to make things look desirable. Like cotton candy, it tastes good, but you can’t live on it. Don’t waste your time. …"

A silly milestone we passed sometime this year: The Internet Archive now emulates (to various degrees, of course), over 250,000 pieces of software, hardware, and electronics, thanks to the effort of a dozen emulation projects and all of them running in the browser. Live again, ancient software!

They're under this helpful collection tree:

if you are at , highly recommend visiting the room of old computers… I got to play with a working Apple Lisa from 1983, which is really neat, uses many of the same metaphors we still use today, although some are slightly different

@jbigham Yes, it is great to use&feel <sic!> this computer with an early desktop GUI.
Which metaphors have changed? Some interactions have, but which metaphors compared with desktop systems of today?

The worst difference has happened just 1 year later in 1984. While LISA is document-centred, the Macintosh is application-centred. This made the interaction paradigm significantly weaker for decades to follow.
