History and Current Research sections
I feel this article is missing two very important sections, namely the history of HCI and what research is being done to further develop HCI.

The history section could go over the early ideas and concepts in HCI, like
 * Vannevar Bush's Memex
 * J.C.R. Licklider's “man-computer symbiosis”
 * The development of Time-sharing
 * Ivan Sutherland’s SketchPad
 * Alan Kay's Dynabook
 * Xerox PARC / Star and predecessors

Current research could briefly go over the following ideas and how they relate to HCI
 * Speech recognition and natural language processing
 * Gesture recognition
 * computer vision, face recognition, gaze tracking, ect...
 * virtual reality and 3D interfaces
 * multi-touch interfaces

Anyone have other ideas? Loserpenguin15 (talk) 01:37, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm sympathetic to including some history, and there are several references in the article to historical treatments. I'd caution anyone undertaking this to read Colin Burke's book Information & Secrecy before writing about Memex (or read about it in my chapter in ARIST 47 or the forthcoming 3rd HCI Handbook edition). I'd also add Engelbart to the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgrudin (talk • contribs) 10:44, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
