This used to be our future. #HCI 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.
@andresmh Good point. Before wondering why_ what is the last one you would count?
I've just added #metaverse 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.
Charles Kline’s IMP Log: “Talked to SRI host to host.”
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!
Join us for the next IIIF Community Call featuring
Mek Karpeles, of http://OpenLibrary.org @ Internet Archive, providing updates on the the Internet Archive's work to officially implement the IIIF standards.
if you are at #chi2023, 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.
