Here’s a whole site dedicated to the study and research of how we interact with the computer via the mouse and clicking. “The Click” says this site, is unnecessary. The whole site is designed to be used without clicking the mouse button but once! I liked it! Check out dontclick.it and see if you can navigate without the click.

History of Human-Computer Interaction
Here’s a look at the future of Human-Computer interaction, and as a by product, it includes a history of what has already come. I haven’t read it yet, so I’ll post a reaction later.
The History of Computers….
I think I’ll start gathering information about the history of computers and all things computer related, since I like the two things soo much.
So for post #1 in History of Computers….
The great debate of the UI (User Interface). How the people communicate with the computer.
I get a lot of ideas and info from reading Slashdot, and today’s episode of the history of the UI is no different. The article references an article on the macobserver.com by John Keit. It briefly describes the state of the modern UI, and a brief history of the UI. Of most interest to me was a link to, and the movie of, a presentation given by Doug Engelbart (creator of the mouse and sooooo many other computer marvells including the basis on how we all use the computer today). Amazing stuff!
