new forms of computing
• the rhetoric– computing is become ubiquitous and hence
invisible
• the practice– I have more computers than ever before– I encounter more computers than ever before– the trend is actually going the other way
• instead of my computer becoming more like my TV, stereo or telephone, they’re becoming more like my computer
– yesterday’s keynote was a perfect example…

the problems of “disappearance”
• computers won’t disappear from our world– but they should disappear from how we talk and think
• the computer is not the problem– instead, it’s the computer’s inflexible obtrusiveness
• how does the computer manifest itself in daily activity?• how can I engage with the computer as a tool?• how can I appropriate technology for new ends?• the mutuality of tool and task
• the solution to these problems is not invisibility– inflexible absence is as bad as inflexible presence!

those who forget the past…
• it’s HCI all over again– “I don’t want to use a word processor; I just
want to write”– “the interface should disappear”
• the rise of design– the communicative role of artifacts
• artifacts quite pointedly don’t disappear– instead, they offer themselves for different
forms and different degrees of engagement

the technical trends
• the technology trends are clear– smaller, lighter, faster, cheaper…– our reliance on computation will increase
• and, as a technophile, I’m happy about that
• the question is, what we’ll do about them– “disappearance” is a non-goal– we need to think more critically about how we
engage with technology in everyday life– we need to develop conceptual understandings
of forms of technology engagement

conceptual understandings
• how people encounter technology in the world– as a part of everyday interaction– as a basis for meaningful practical activity– as a site for engaged action
• embodiment– a sense of phenomenological presence
• underwrites trends in tangible and social computing
• CSCW is uniquely positioned to address this– the relationship between technology and practice– the social and situated nature of computer work– the outward-directed focus of online activity

parting thoughts
• a world of sensible coexistence– a device focus leads to interconnection
nightmares
• back to the desktop!– stuck in 1984 for ever?
• let’s make “disappearing” disappear– let’s focus, instead, on appropriate
appearance
