Why 3-2-1 Contact?
Making "contact" with computers and other digital devices a more human, intuitive experience
Hoping this breakout session can capture the "aha" moments that the original show inspired

Keyboards
Mechanical "key punch" post industrial revolution
Full typewriter style keyboards with punch cards post WW2
Remain popular with punch cards until 1970s when punch cards were replaced by terminal and graphic video displays
"IBM 029 Keypunch" via ookaboo.com
Mouse
American Inventor, Douglas Engelbart, patented in 1970 as 2 axis input device
Allowed user ease of use and limited mistakes
Apple obtained license for $40K, first to have success
First widespread use with Mac in '84

The light pen, a stylus, was used with the cathode ray tubes
developed in the 50's by MIT,
gaining some popularity in the 80's
Used with programs like Auto cad
Other digitizers that used a slate to map to a screen

Touch screens were first officially conceived in the late 60's and patented by U of K in early 70's
HP 150,1983, "world's first touchscreen computer"

That Was Then:
There have been any number of peripherals for talking to our machines for specialized tasks

some like light-pen or motion and camera controlled

others mundane like keyboard, mouse, and game pad

This Is Now:
Now we are seeing a large variety of industries moving towards peripherals/software that allow more natural use.
The commonality is the input. From the iPhones IOS, Android, Wacom, Smartboard, Playstation Move, Xbox Kinect to Microsoft Windows. The goal is of ease of use. When you stop worrying about the OS you can be a better user

No longer are we just using simple peripherals with limited use, instead we have engaging computer interactions that allows the user full control of the Operating System

Why touchscreen , multi-touch, and stylus?
Captures a wide stroke of related technology that abandons the keyboard and mouse
Moving towards a more human/intuitive use of machines
easier to point with a finger than use a mouse
Allowing economic/effective use
shorter time using programs
ability to collaborate more effectively

Pinch-Swipe-Rotate-Expand-Flick
"It immediately enables multiple users to interact with a shared display, the interface simply disappears.
Here's a lightbox app. Dragging photos around. Two fingers at once, I can start zooming, rotating, all in one really seamless motion. It's neat because it's exactly what you expect would happen if you grabbed this virtual photo here. All very seamless and fluid."
