Questions

1.If we were to make “All the Widgets 2.0” what would you put in it? Do you think the video would be longer or shorter?

2.Did you see any interaction techniques that clearly did not survive to the present day that you think may be worth revisiting?

3.Are there any widget categories you can think of that are missing, either old or new, that might benefit from a historical accounting like this.

4.How can we use this video to inform modern work? I have some of my own ideas but I’m curious to see what you all think.
