Societal and Individual Impacts
Future Interfaces
New devices: portable, inexpensive, small, wearable, mobile, personal , robotic, engulfed
Context-aware devices
Perceive user needs
• Small medical sensors that monitor health
• Hidden detectors that protect from dangers Visual, aural, tactile, gestural interaction
Universal usability to facilitate
• Voting
• Crime reporting Biometric identification to reduce the chance of terrorism

Societal and Individual Impacts
Schneiderman’s Ten Plagues of the Information Age
Anxiety: overcoming fear of technology
Alienation: less direct connection with others
Information-poor minority: affordable technology for all
Impotence of the individual: lack of receiving assistance from an individual
Bewildering complexity and speed
Organizational fragility: over-dependence on technology
Invasion of privacy
Unemployment and displacement
Lack of professional responsibility: organizations responding impersonally and denying responsibility for issues (e.g., blame it on the computer)
Deteriorating image of people

Societal and Individual Impacts
Strategies for preventing the plagues
Human-centered participatory design: include users in the design process
Organizational support: user support with interviews and focus groups
Job design: avoiding the electronic sweatshop
Education: continuing education and on-the-job training
Feedback and Rewards: reward users for detecting problems, and provide feedback on the problem resolution
Legislation: laws related to privacy, rights of access and computer crime

Who invented the internet direct manipulation interface?
Robert Taylor – A Psychologist
Degree in experimental psychology
Brain research and the auditory nervous system
Director of ARPA's Information Processing Techniques Office
Founder and later manager of Xerox PARC's CD Lab (precursor to the Mac)
Awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation
"The Internet is not about technology; it's about communication. The Internet connects people who have shared interests, ideas and needs, regardless of geography."

Licklider & Taylor - Man-Computer Symbiosis
Man-Computer Symbiosis (1960)
Specified the need for simpler interaction between computers and users
Vision: "Men will set the goals, formulate the hypotheses, determine the criteria, and perform the evaluations.”
Computing machines will do the routinizable work that must be done to prepare the way for insights and decisions in technical and scientific thinking."

Global computer network
"Intergalactic Computer Network" concept (1962)
These ideas contained almost everything that the Internet is today
“It seems reasonable to envision, for a time 10 or 15 years hence, a 'thinking center' that will incorporate the functions of present-day libraries together with anticipated advances in information storage and retrieval. The picture readily enlarges itself into a network of such centers, connected to one another by wide-band communication lines and to individual users by leased-wire services.”

Vision of Email?
Vision of eHarmony?
“The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people––as remarkable as the telephone.” [Steve Jobs in Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985] 17 years after the paper

Cloud Based Healthcare
Your doctor draws blood and tissue Sends the information to a medical Big Data center
In seconds, sequences your entire genome and, maps how the proteins and the cells in your body are translating your specific DNA mutation into tumor cells.
Your doctor then accesses a secure global “bank” of cancer DNA and tissue, and develops an individual cocktail for you, administering it with precise nanotechnology.
You recover at home, monitored by high-information devices connected through transmitters to your doctor and clinic
