The Hawk That Dare Not Hunt by Day by Scott Odell
The last forty years have seen the rise of the personal computer, a device that has enabled ordinary individuals to access a tool that had been exclusive to laboratories and corporate technology centers. During this time, computers have become smaller, faster, more powerful, and more complex. So much has happened with so many products, in fact, that we often take for granted the uniqueness of our experiences with different machines over time.The Interface Experience surveys some of the landmark devices in the history of personal computingincluding the Commodore 64, Apple Macintosh Plus, Palm Pilot Professional, and Microsoft Kinectand helps us to better understand the historical shifts that have occurred with the design and material experience of each machine. With its spiral-bound design reminiscent of early computer user manuals and thorough consideration of the cultural moment represented by each device, The Interface Experience is a one-of-a-kind tour of modern computing technology.
