The second part of Rivanciw's recent comments on Personal Workstations sound very much like the DATALAND concept of Nicholas Negroponte of the Architecture Department at MIT. Negroponte's ideas have progressed to a somewhat more grandiose scale. He has built a special room containing a wall-size screen and an armchair with input controls on both the arms. His basic concept is that people often organize themselves SPATIALLY rather than with the alphabetic keys by which ordinary random data files are sometimes accessed. He has described the organization of a person's desk at the office in such SPATIAL terms. --Peter R. Spool -------
