• Review:: 'The User's Guide is every mom's lunchtime survival guide The Laptop Lunch User's Guide has helped me to come up with new ideas for lunch making that my kids love and I feel good about. It gave me lots of information about how to pack a waste-free lunch and even gave me tips for my picky eater. The User's Guide has become my lunchtime survival guide.
• Review:: 'Good, but not really what I needed I did not get any fresh ideas from this book. If you are already preparing earth friendly lunches i.e. using reusable containers most of this information will not be new to you. I was looking for some new recipes for lunches and I found that in "Brown Bag Success" by Sandra K. Nissenberg and Barbara Pearl.
• Review:: 'A Great Way to Teach Kids About Nutrition The Laptop Lunch User's Guide provided me with concrete suggestions for helping get my kids involved in lunchmaking. With its dual focus on nutrition and waste reduction, the book teaches children how to take care of their bodies and the planet as well. I hope that many more parents will read this book and pack nutritious lunches for their kids. So many of the nation's children are both undernourished and overfed, but as parents, we can make a stab at reducing the incidence of childhood obesity.

Leonardo's Laptop- Human Needs and the New Computing Technologies

Leonardo's Laptop

Human Needs and the New Computing Technologies:

• Review:: 'Decent class of cover....that's it Approximately 250 pages of hybridised vacuity build from snippets of information coralled together. I can best describe this work as almost entirely cliche ridden. It is further evidence that human computer interaction studies are largely 'solutions' in search of problems. The chapter on 'mega-creativity' is replete with casual opinion and banal anecdotes. Likewise chapters on the 'new education' and 'new medicine' are pitched several degrees below what the average Time or News Week reader would expect in content. Overall this is a poor piece of work in terms of content and I regret having wasted money on it. At some point in time, I hope that a Shokal equivalent emerges to debunk the self-aggrandising twaddle that typifies most HCI work.
• Review:: 'repetitive, but somehow doesn't say anything Schneiderman's "Leonardo's Laptop" is singularly disappointing. Promising to raise our expectation of what we should get from technology, he instead uses a forced extended metaphor in the form of Leonardo da Vinci. What would Leonardo do?, we are repeatedly asked. Schneiderman attempts to answer the question. Sadly, his answers are neither new nor groundbreaking. I cannot believe that Leonardo would simply recount solutions that are already available and attempt to make such solutions sound visionary and forward-thinking. The chapters in the book discuss the issues with usability today, activites and relationships, and attempt to discuss future directions in several fields: government, healthcare, business, and education. In these chapters, Schneiderman uses feel-good buzzwords like 'empowering' and 'enabling', but never moves beyond the feel-good buzzwords to suggest real solutions. In most cases, he suggests solutions that are already implemented; in others, he simply waves his hands at the problem and says that there has to be a solution. Each chapter concludes with a skeptic's corner. This section could easily be re-labelled the strawman's corner. In that section, he constructs arguments that skeptics might use, but he must assume that skeptics are uniformly moronic. The so-called skeptical arguments are drawn with exceptionally rough strokes, which he dispenses of with little regard to very real concerns that can and should be discussed. I had high hopes for this book. I wanted something that pushed the boundaries. I wanted something visionary. Instead, I got a repetitive book that somehow didn't say anything. I can only hope that future works give us something better than this.
• Review:: 'The Virtual Renaissance Man This book is an excellent resource for practitioners to remind of what is important in today's product computer world - customer satisfaction. The book reminds us through the use of Leonardo [DaVinci]Create?'s laptop applications that we need to ensure mankind is the master of computer systems and computers serve our customer needs for new applications and do not become an end in themselves. He is not convinced machine will think for themselves or have personalities as hollywood has suggested in several movies. He shows a healthy skepticism about where we are headed and defines some of the existing top notch research projects. His position at University of Maryland Human Computer Interaction lab gives him a unique look into government use of computing which he discusses in the book. A most useful book to career government computer people.
• Review:: 'Demand More From the Computer Industry The following review was published in the October 2003 issue of the Usability Interface, the quarterly newsletter for the Usability SIG of the STC (Society for Technical Communication).

  Background

  Anyone who knows Ben Shneiderman and the activities of the Human-Computer Interface Lab (HCIL) would expect a book like Leonardo’s Laptop. Twenty years ago as founding director of HCIL, he was in the avant-garde of bringing together experts in computer science, engineering, psychology, and education to develop computers and their interfaces to better serve human needs. Back then computer interfaces had barely advanced from a row of blinking lights to a flickering green monitor.

  Why did Shneiderman write Leonardo?
  Having long been at the forefront of interface design among design, he sensed a need for something new to advance things to the next level. It’s the involvement of the masses that can push the development and implementation of what is possible with computing and interfaces.

  He writes, “Old computing is about what computers can do. New computing is about what people can do.” And one thing people can do is to demand better computer interfaces or “Universal Usability.” In Leonardo, Shneiderman empowers users to demand more by giving real, concrete examples of how computers can better support human activities.

  Shneiderman’s approach

  For designers he develops a framework for designers to construct technology to support users and their needs — the Activities and Relationships Table (ART). ART is Shneiderman’s approach to relating human activities and relationships. The columns are four activities: collect (information), relate (communicate), create (innovate), and donate (disseminate). The four rows are relationships, each one describing an increasingly large group: self, family and friends, colleagues and neighbors, citizens and markets. Using this framework, human needs are identified first and then technology is developed to meet these needs.

  Separate chapters on e-business, e-learning, e-commerce, and e-government use this framework to identify needs specific to these areas and then consider how technology can better support the individual and society. The focus is on how technology supports human relationships, how technology enables individuals and groups to be more productive and more creative, and how technology helps diverse groups collaborate within communities or across continents.

  Each chapter concludes with a thoughtful section labeled, “The Skeptics Corner.” There he completes the discussion of each chapter by voicing the concerns of those who would question his ideas or who see problems with his approach. Shneiderman readily admits that real world solutions are not without potential problems or risk. Here he strengthens his theses by contrasting them with the alternatives.

  Of particular interest to the Usability Community are chapter subsections on defining universal usability, accommodating diverse users, bridging the gap between what users know and what they need to know, and methods for achieving user-centered design. This book provides a service to the Usability Community by raising public awareness of and knowledge about Usability.

• Review:: 'A Reviewer You Can Trust Dislikes This Book I am running three small internet and software interface venture businesses and avidly read anything anywhere that will in any way help me do a better job. If you put the word "interface" in your work, I will buy it just on the chance it will help me. My businesses are having all sorts of real problems with suppliers and customers and interfaces. We need help. So in that context I bought this book.

  In about an hour it became apparent that this author has stopped thinking many years ago and now is famous enough to just sprinkle power cuties over his audiences instead of doing real work. I became more and more insulted by this author and his editor and publisher. It is one thing to dress up a title and table of contents wording to slant something falsely so it will look like something else and sell well--nearly all editors and publishers do this. However, it is something else to take casual ramblings and rantings of an old man who has not seen a trench much less been in one for a decade or more, it appears. and publish them just because marketing can get enough suckers to pull in some money for retirment.

  This book is merely written to make money for its publisher and author and has no sincere intent to enlighten anyone about anything, as far as I can see. Nothing in it pertains to computer interface work in any serious sense. Each chapter expresses rage at some terrible aspect of current software. Rage is something I understand but I have it already and do not need more of it. I need solutions and ideas, preferably with experimental data backing some of them up. This book is just rage and out of date rage at that. I am sorry because this author ten years ago was a true pioneer and his early academic papers helped me a lot. It is sad to see commercial success ruin a good mind.
