CB...this taken from the Stanford paper: Traditionally, interface designers have had as their goal the creation of software “tools' that would allow users to perform particular tasks easily and effectively. Methods and theories from Cognitive Science and Psychology that deal with the conscious performance of mental tasks (e.g. GOMS and keystroke models, task analysis, protocol analysis) and visuomotor tasks (e.g. Fitts Law, SR Compatibility) were adapted to create core methodologies in the study of human-computer interaction [1]. Adaptation of theories and methods from Cognitive Science in interface design has been highly selective. The emphasis on semantic similarities (e.g. of a word processor with a typewriter, or a visual calculator with a paper spreadsheet) has reduced the need for design methods that rely upon basic characteristics of human attention and perception. One way Thoughtshare appears to be superior and perhaps unique? is in its ability to sort, organize, and share data in a manner that is visually appealing. The programming behind Thoughtshare is original in that it is based on cognitive science and psychology. A software that acts in a manner we tend to think!!! And looks real purdy too...LOL.

I got news for you, ask a Micro Soft shareholder what MSFT's technology is and they won't know either. I bought 1000 shares of Microsoft the day after its IPO, even though I did not really understand what they did. I use their products but don't really understand the programming. Do you know how to make a car, gallon of gas, or a Firestone Tire? How about a screw or bolt? Threading? Metallurgy? How many Wall Street types do? I could probably count them on one hand.
