Quotations
74 ;;Quote: we need new interface paradigms based on the structure of computer systems and computerized tasks; not imitations of outdated technologies 
 |  74 ;;Quote: with a direct manipulation interface you have to directly manipulate everything; like an assembly line worker 
 |  74 ;;Quote: see-and-point reduces us to pointing at objects; mouse buttons give us a vocabulary akin to grunts  
 |  75 ;;Quote: as computer interfaces become more fine-grained, the need for complete consistency will drop;  in the real world we recognize objects despite a wide variety of appearances 
 |  75 ;;Quote: WYSIWYG assumes that the printed report is the only useful representation of information; why not provide additional information such as index terms 
 |  77 ;;Quote: real life is highly moded; e.g., a kitchen is different than a swimming pool; easily distinguished because of the richness of the experience 
 |  77+;;Quote: a mode narrows the choices available and focuses the user's attention on what is important 
 |  | 78 ;;Quote: Anti-Mac interface: based on language, rich representation, expressive interface, expert users, and shared control
