Worth a read: A history of user interface design
The Swedish technology nerd and software developer Carl Svensson analyzes the development of user interfaces in a new article on Datagubbe.se entitled "Past and Present Futures of User Interface Design" - with a special focus on futuristic interface designs of past decades.
Starting with a look at old books on user guidance and GUI design, the author asks how the often lofty visions of the future from back then (such as touchscreen workstations or holographic interfaces) have developed in reality - or not. Particular attention is paid to the question of whether today's interfaces have actually become simpler and more accessible, or whether they are merely based on new models without really being more efficient.
The blog post is both informative and tongue-in-cheek – and offers exciting insights for anyone interested in design history, interface philosophy or simply digital nostalgia. (nba)
