abstract:Hands-On Computing is a branch of Human-Computer Interaction research, which focuses on computer interfaces that respond to human touch or expression, allowing the machine and the user to interact physically. Hands-on computing can make complicated computer tasks more natural to users by attempting to respond to motions and interactions that are natural to human behavior.
Our priorities for the coming months include facilitating more hands-on training on the use of grid computing technology, publicizing its application, connecting to existing grid and getting more experts from the Diaspora to participate in the project.
In other words, organizations that adopt cloud computing will value business understanding of how things work over hands-on expertise with servers and SAP.
It's a chance to check out the latest devices and products and, more important, to "touch" Steve Jobs-even if only by viewing him on a giant screen-the man who democratized technology by putting computing power in the hands of ordinary people.
