P2P HCI (Mar 31 2003 20:58 GMT) - For the course I'm teaching this summer, I'd like to encourage students to think about their favorite p2p and communicative applications and how HCI is currently used and could potentially be used to elevate usage. After all, one reason Napster was so popular was that it was so easy to use. Look at Gnutella: impossible to use, not nearly as influential (even though the technology is more mature). I have to do a bit of thinking about how to show high school students that design heavily influences software. |

- I don't think I've linked to Britt Blaser before, but everything by him that I've read to date felt quite insightful. Britt is building momentum right now, trying to put together a system called Xpertweb that could (as I understand it so far -- which is only slightly) reorganize the way economic relationships are set up between everyone and anyone. Doc, Mitch, Flemming, and Stuart among others are wrapping their brains around this and taking it rather seriously, so I'm eager to see what will come out of the effort. |

- the first copyright wars. Thanks to Sean McGrath for sending me this wonderful story about the first copyright wars. The story is told in Ingenious Ireland by Mary Mulvihill, about the 3000 men who died in the "Battle of the Book at Cooldrumman" after copyists refused to return the copies after a court ruled against them. Perspective perhaps, but precedent too? [Lessig Blog] |
