Future of interfaces
• Being there– Sensory immersion– Natural interaction
• Entities– Virtual and physical ‘Things’
that represent computers
• Virtual common• Emotional feedback• Deeply-coupled systems• VIRTUAL FROGS

Not concerns
• Technology
• Human factors
19
IE/TC455 class #31
Interface challenges
• Just how much can we handle?
• What do we do with this ‘power’
• Is it truly empowerment?
20
IE/TC455 class #31
Concerns
• Social impact– Cellphones
– Headphones
– Eyephones
• Technology intoxication
• Kids and playgrounds
• Are we doing the right thing?
21
IE/TC455 class #31
Paradigm shift
• Socially responsible technologydevelopment & application
• Making a profit while solving pervasiveproblems
• Balance the ‘push’ & ‘pull’ of technologyand applications
22
IE/TC455 class #31
Problems we have to solve!
• Growth of population– hunger– Crime + terrorism– environment– energy
• Education of population– awakening children– life long learning
• Aging of population– Health maintenance– quality of life– pain management

Still….
• it’s fun to think about what we can dowith technology…– Visit the Science Fiction Museum
26
IE/TC455 class #31
Some advice…
• Don’t watch a lot of TV (or computer games)• Read the classics (it’s about the stories)• Go on some expeditions (get out there)• Work on real world problems• Help everyone to win• Count on serendipity
– …the faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.• Be generous = you only get to keep what you give away• Keep in touch!

“I hold the unconquerable belief thescience and peace will triumph overignorance and war, nations will cometogether not to destroy but to construct,and that the future belongs to those whoaccomplish most for suffering humanity.”

The Long Quiet Highway…
"Whether we know it or not, we transmit the presence of
everyone we have ever known, as though by being in each
other's presence we exchange our cells, pass on some of our
life force, and then go on carrying that other person in our
body, not unlike springtime when certain plants in fields we
walk through attach their seeds in the form of small burrs to
our socks, our pants, our caps, as if to say "Go on, take us
with you, carry us to root in another place."
"The Long Quiet Highway" -- Natalie Goldberg
