Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist – An independant film by Peter Joseph An impressive film about religion, the church, culture, war, history, money, terror, media, and a little bit about the truth. But, as the author said:

A duel at reboot9

I am happy to present at reboot9 this year. I'll talk about a duel between desktop- and web-computing.

Abstract. Today the user of personal computers is facing several inconsistencies which originate from an unresolved situation between two competing interaction models. The WIMP desktop model was developed nearly 30 years ago at Xerox Parc and Apple Computer. The web model became popular in the mid 1990s and has profoundly changed business and the perception of social relationships. Contradictions between these two models have a severe negative impact on human-computer interaction.

The presentation will be based on a similar talk I gave at MEDICHI a month ago.
