	Ben Shneiderman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ben Shneiderman (born August 21, 1947) is an American computer scientist.
		Shneiderman currently holds a post as professor for Computer Science at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at the University of Maryland, College Park.
		In addition to his influential work in user interface design, he is known for the co-invention (together with Isaac Nassi) of the Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams, a graphical representation of the design of structured software.

	Scientific American: Profile: Humans Unite!: March 1999
		Shneiderman, who since 1981 has argued that effective programs allow people to manipulate on-screen objects directly, is on a personal campaign to purge his field of anthropomorphism, which he regards as an affront to human dignity.
		According to Shneiderman, agents and their cyber-kin, which have been promoted most notably by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Patti Maes, are a new version of the "mimicry game," the long and undistinguished tradition of making devices that look or work like humans.
		Shneiderman asserts that his own goal is to "amplify human creativity 1,000-fold." He punctuates his views with grins, chuckles and shrugs that conjure an aura of gentle reasonableness.

	SAP Design Guild -- Book Review: Leonardo's Laptop
		Ben Shneiderman's contributions to the user interface design field are numerous and diverse, such as hypertext systems, direct manipulation (a term that was coined by him), information visualization (starfield display, treemap, visible human, and many more...), and the design of large information-abundant Websites.
		Shneiderman's focus is not on technical dreams, it is on doable societal and political visions of technology use.
		Shneiderman focuses on evolutionary creativity because it offers the perspective of developing mega-creativity: "enable more people to be more creative more of the time." He considers three perspectives on creativity, inspirational, structural, and situational, each of which leads to different requirements for supporting software tools.

	ALA \| Book Review - Human Needs and the New Computing Technologies
		Shneiderman claims this is but one example of the move from artificial intelligence (AI) to user interfaces.
		Shneiderman’s purpose here and elsewhere in these chapters must be to explore the somewhat quotidian examples of everyday electronic life to back up his claim that we are shifting to a user-centered world, and he does that very well.
		Shneiderman ends the book with a short chapter, “Grander Goals,” that offers a wider vision of the future than is found in his examples of contemporary usability.
