In April last year,  Microsoft Research, in collaboration with a
number of internationally distinguished academic and industry
collaborators, launched a report entitled ŒBeing Human: Human-Computer
Interaction in the Year 2020¹.  The report investigates how the field
of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has adapted and matured over the
last 20 years, how the design of computers impact on socio-digital
landscapes and what HCI might look like in the year 2020.

Our aim with this report is to widely deliver important messages about
the field of HCI.  We hope to provoke challenging debate and
discussion amongst the community and provide support for the next
generation of HCI researchers.

Amongst the feedback we have received to date is that lecturers and
students in the HCI field find it particularly useful as a reference
and study resource. This report is available online to download, but
we would also like to offer you a courtesy hardcopy of this report for
your perusal.

If you would like to receive a copy of this report, or know of anyone
else who you think would be interested, please just
emailbhuman at microsoft.com
. We would be very pleased to send you any number of additional copies
free of charge, to distribute to your colleagues and students and
would welcome any comments on the report itself.

Yours sincerely,

Prof.  Richard Harper 1, Prof. Tom Rodden2, Prof. Yvonne Rogers3 and
Prof. Abigail Sellen1 (Co-editors of the Being Human report)
