Hey guys, i am having trouble working out what i should be looking for, for a college based exercise.
I will go as far as saying, my college are terrible for the support they provide.
The exercise i was given was due to my tutor being sent away to a university for some purpose so we have no backing to what i should be looking for.
I am not looking for direct answers with explanations, just ideas in what sort of things.
my class is HCI - Human Computer Interface
my task is set as;
"complete a page of research information on the major milestones on VDU, Keyboard Inputs, Pointing Devices and GUI's
Each component must include two milestones and the manufacturer of the device and why you consider it a milestone"
VDU - possible first color adapter, first external monitor away from terminals, first dates of types of monitor being made?
keyboard - first one to offer interactive multimedia features, wireless, dynamic shapes
Mouse - first mouse, mouse buttons..?
what should we view as milestones and what would seem important enough for it?
