From Computing Machinery to Interaction Design
In order to get some grip on the future we need to take advantage of the past and the present: to identify some trajectories that are already in swing, and to look at some further points towards which they are headed.

So we will begin by examining three trends whose directions are already visible, and then project an image of where they may lead in the coming half-century. For convenience, let us label these trajectories:
o Computation to communication
o Machinery to habitat
o Aliens to agents
