Yet another rif: http://research.microsoft.com/news/featurestories/publish/HCI2020.aspx?0hp=n1 on one of my own namely that "technological change moves at a different speed than human change" (surprise).

Like any good relationship we need to constantly assess it in light of new information and events.

Microsoft notes that there is quite a lot of both excitement and trepidation out there around redefining HCI. I am glad about that. It means we have sat with our old ways of thinking and our old data>information>knowledge>wisdom systems for too long and that the only true to path to progress is constant assessment and change…all of which evokes a range of emotions in people.
