In March 2007, Microsoft Research organized the ‘HCI 2020’ meeting at the El Bulli Hacienda Hotel near Seville, Spain. The event’s title expressed its key question: what will Human- Computer Interaction (HCI) be like in the year 2020? This is the report they produced (see botom of linked page for report). Makes for an interesting read in the now very real 2020.
