    This might be an abstract way of examining the problem - but it could be useful to research ways of interacting with information that don't involve computing.

    For example, I think it's nice to think of a book as an example of an interface that's stood the test of time.

    * It has a cover which creates differentiation between titles and allows for easy identification.
    * A spine which allows it to be identified in-situ.
    * A blurb on the back cover provides summary information.
    * It has an index for locating specific content
    * Progress can be judged in a visual and tactile sense, by examining how many page precede / proceed the current page.
    * It's portable

    etc., etc.
