What's the "Human Interaction Institute" at CMU For ???
Dear Concerned Citizens, Re: Subject, what is Dan Olsen going to be in charge of at CMU ? (ref: CDA debate; expert witness for the CDA) The title could refer to net censorship, or to bio-medical implantation of control computers inside human brains. So which is it ? Or is this not an exclusive or answer ? Stephen S. salgaller@ccgate.hac.com or try: salgaller@aol.com PS: If anyone can tell me the name of the 1965 movie starring Michael Renee that dealt with the above two issues, please tell me. If you were not aware, the movie dealt with a plan, initially, to link all humanity directly to each other. One could "download" data directly into your brain ! You could also have "mental telepathy" and communicate with others. Michael Renee's character escapes to the past to try to end research done by a scientist, that lead up to the inevitable a totalitarian world government takes control of everyone; even your thoughts are no longer private. You get the idea. This was also done as part of the movie "Terminator 2"; I wonder if the writer of the 1965 movie got any screen credit or royalties for T2 ??? I'm worrying too much, right ? It can't happen here ??? Tim Mc Veigh said he had a bio chip implant. Nah...
ER... one other possibilty could be Computer/Human Interaction (CHI), which is what he's published in before.

Olsen's expertise seems to lie in the area of user interfaces. Though you never know what those kooky geeks are thinking of over in Wean Hall... -Declan
