This is a fantastic post. By about the 6 minute mark I realized that the challenges, design metrics, social communication goals and programming strategies haven’t changed much. Technology has just got faster and smaller, lol. Makes me think we haven’t scratched the surface. Did you catch his reference to the different sections of the screen environment as “windows” pre-consumer GUI?

Real cool.
