| Does studying the past help us predict the future? Lao Tzu, 2500 years ago,
was pessimistic: "Those who have knowledge don't predict. Those who predict
don't have knowledge." With the Enlightenment and science came optimism: "It is
far better to foresee even without certainty than not to foresee at all," wrote
Henri Poincaré. But 20th century technology predictions often proved
embarrassing. Edgar Fiedler observed, "He who lives by the crystal ball soon
learns to eat ground glass" Keywords: HCI History | |||

| This inaugurates a series of guest-authored Timelines columns. Richard Pew's
research focus has been in human factors. He was the program chair for the
first official CHI Conference in 1983 and participated on three panels at
CHI'86. He was president of the Human Factors Society and the first chair of
the National Research Council Committee on Human Factors. He wrote the HCI
history chapter for the first edition of the Erlbaum Handbook of Human-Computer
Interaction, edited by Julie Jacko and Andrew Sears. In this column he
describes an innovative project in the dynamic late 1970s that brought Xerox
PARC technology to a government bureaucracy. -- Jonathan Grudin, Timelines

| Dov Te'eni | |||
| Although not many managers have been hands-on computer users until recently,
they were critical users of computer output from the beginning of business
computing, in the 1960s. Information Systems research, for example, has
included an HCI thread for 40 years. Unfortunately, our fields have not
interacted effectively, as noted in my January-February 2006 column. In this,
the second guest-authored Timelines column, Dov Te'eni reviews four decades of
HCI research in IS, describes its state today, and suggests where it is headed.

| The virtual-world environment of Second Life is attracting considerable
media attention. Some see it as heralding new ways of working and playing
online; others question its prospects. In this column, Bruce Damer considers
the history of virtual worlds, in which he played an active part. Upon meeting
Bruce in Prague in 1994, I was immediately impressed with his insight, energy,
and creativity. His DigiBarn computer museum in Santa Cruz is a unique,
invaluable computer-history resource, including vintage computers that visitors
can experience hands-on. -- Jonathan Grudin Keywords: HCI History | |||

| This column on computer game history, from the perspective of the gaming
industry, complements the column from the last issue on the history of virtual
worlds. I met Daniel Pargman, then a graduate student studying multiplayer
games, exactly ten years ago. He told me that one day there would be a research
field dedicated to online games, and he planned to be there. The field is
indeed emerging, with Daniel as a major contributor. -- Jonathan Grudin Keywords: HCI History | |||
