Baecker, R. M., Grudin, J., Buxton, W. A., and Greenberg, S. 1995. Research frontiers in human-computer interaction. In Human-Computer interaction: Toward the Year 2000, R. M. Baecker, J. Grudin, W. A. Buxton, and S. Greenberg, Eds. Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, San Francisco, CA, 739-740.

This is a rather old article from the Human-computer interaction: toward the year 2000. book which predicted some areas that interest me:

Co-evolution and design for appropriation

Designing for human capabilities is challenged by rapid changes in environments that require mutual fit and adaptation of humans and computer.

The utopia in ubicomp

Finally, ubiquitous computing represents a profound shit in perspective. [..] Virtual communities, virtual reality, and ubiquitous computing, in particular, bring with them bright utopian and dark anti-utopian visions.

Relation to my thesis: Looking for some articles giving an overview of HCI to give a very high-level HCI context to my research.
