The Future & History of the User Interface

An anonymous reader writes "The Mac Observer is taking a look at UI development with lots of video links to some of the latest developments in user interfaces. It also has links to some of the most interesting historical footage of UI developments, here's one of the 1968 NLS demo. From the article: 'Sadly, a great many people in the computer field have a pathetic sense (or rather ignorance) of history. They are pompous and narcissistic enough to ignore the great contributions of past geniuses... It might be time to add a mandatory "History of Computers" class to the computer science curriculum so as to give new practitioners this much needed sense of history.'"

Because when you're looking at a girl while shaking your head up and down it's like saying: "hmm nice breasts, nice legs. YES, I want to fuck you". Shaking your head left/right is like "NO I don't want to fuck you, I am not even looking at you. I'm searching left and right for a better prey."
