Johnson's article seems as if it should have been split into sections. I do not have context within the entire book, but he talks about many different things. beyond that....
I feel this article was decent, as a summary of what has happened with GUI's from their creation to 1996, which antiquates the article. In all honesty, he really didn't seem to bring much to the table. The most interesting part of the article I found, was how in the early days of GUI's they created virtual office environments. Clicking on a calculator opens a spreadsheet, and a typewriter opens the word processor. This idea was extremely laughable. Beyond that, it seems everything he brought up, has been resolved, the palace, succeeded now by second life. And even the shooters have been advanced upon in such titles like Team Fortress 2. I want to jump in a time machine, and read this in 1996, not in 2008.
