Lifestreams: An Alternative to the Desktop Metaphor

Video demonstration from the 1996 CHI conference. We contend that managing oneÕs own electronic world can be a frustrating task for most computer users, requiring too many separate applications, too many file transfers and format translations, the invention of too many pointless names and the construction of organizational hierarchies that too quickly become obsolete. What is needed is a metaphor and system for organizing the electronic Òbits of paperÓ we all so easily collect, whether we create them ourselves or they come to us in the form of email, downloaded images, web pages, or scheduling reminders. Lifestreams is such a system. Author(s): Scott Fertig, Eric Freeman and David Gelernter
