Toward every-citizen interfaces to the nation's information infrastructure: a National Research Council study

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the highlights from a National Research Council study as seen by its chairman. The aim of the study was to examine the state of the art in human-machine interfaces and the possibility of enabling all citizens to achieve access to the National Information Infrastructure. The report encourages the community to break away from 1960s technologies and paradigms and to seek ways to employ new modes and media for human-machine interaction.
