  3. Context - Computing in 1960s • Transistor (1948) • ARPA (1958) • Timesharing (1950s) • Terminals and keyboards • Computers still primarily for scientists and engineers Vacuum Tube Jason Hong / James Landay, UC Berkeley

  4. Batch Processing • Computer had one task, performed sequentially • No “interaction” between operator and computer after starting the run • Punch cards, tapes for input • Serial operations

  5. Technological Advance / Paradigm Shift: Time Sharing • (Mid 1960s) • Command line - teletypes, then “glass teletypes” • Computers still too expensive for individuals timesharing • increased accessibility • interactive systems, not jobs • text processing, editing • email, shared file system * There was an unrecognized need for HCI in the design of programming languages Need for HCI*

  6. The Ubiquitous ASR 33 Teletype • ASR: Automatic Send / Receive • Save programs on punched paper tape • The first direct human-computer interface experience for many in the 1960s • About 10 characters per second - 110 bps

  7. The Ubiquitous Glass Teletype • 24 x 80 characters • Up to 19,200 bps (Wow - was big stuff!) Source:http://www.columbia.edu/acis/history/vt100.html
