- Back to Basics: Does Point-&-Click Hinder Innovation?
Skipping to the end - the answer is I don’t know - but I think it’s worth considering! I’ve recently been considering if point and click ‘desktop’ / ‘window’ interfaces stifle innovation because they seem to be all encompassing and universal on all modern operating systems. Even though we have some desktop variations the metaphor still seems to be pervasive for most everyday tasks. It may be that this is not a problem, just as we use a desk for most writing tasks and a pen and paper and a filing system - these are part of everyday life and are no longer questioned - these tools are familiar and comfortable and so are now just ‘invisible’ to us.
