In looking back at this turn-of-the-century period, the rise of a worldwide network will be seen as the most significant part of the computer revolution. My subsequent work - on eliciting principles and developing the theory of interface design, so that many people will be able to do what I did - is probably also footnote-worthy.

I am only a footnote, but proud of the footnote I have become.

On the potential to improve human-computer interaction, in interview with Berkeley Groks (3 March 2004).

Right now, computers, which are supposed to be our servant, are oppressing us.

As we cannot change the way our minds work, we must change the interface design. These flaws have to do with incompatibilities between the designs of both GUIs and command-line interfaces and the way our brains are wired. Unfortunately, we have learned that the GUI concept has fundamental flaws that cannot be corrected by small changes. It would be wonderful if we could just tuck in a few loose ends and change a handful of details of present systems to have them work properly.Interview in Doctor Dobb's Journal, also quoted in The Mammoth Book of Zingers, Quips, and One-Liners (2004) by Geoff Tibballs, p.
