- catalog abstract ""The Unfinished Revolution is nothing less than an inspired manifesto for the future of computing. Dertouzos's vision will change how businesses, organizations, and governments work with each other, and how individuals interact. It represents the dawn of a new era in information technology." "Human-centered computing goes well beyond the empty promises of "user-friendly" interfaces. At its foundation are five key technologies that will dramatically amplify our human capabilities: natural interaction, automation, individualized information access, collaboration, and customization. Human-centered systems will understand us when we speak to them; will do much of our routine brainwork for us; will get us the information we want, when and where we want it; will help us work with other people across space and time; and will adapt on their own to our individual needs and desires." "By exploiting these five emerging technologies in combination - in our professional specialties and in our personal lives - we will see a vast increase in our productivity and a marked change in the ways we live and work. Human-centered technologies will make computers simpler, more natural, and more useful to us. The collective benefits of human-centered machines will give ordinary people capabilities that go beyond those enjoyed today by the most privileged. Human-centered systems will give us the gas pedal, brakes, and steering wheel of the Information Age." "This is a book for everyone, professionals and nonspecialists, who yearn for machines that live up to the grand promise of the Information Revolution - fulfilling real human needs with greater simplicity - that still lingers unfulfilled. The Unfinished Revolution is for those who want to enhance their computer productivity and fun, in short, for every person who wants to do more by doing less."--Jacket.".
