Raskin, Jef (1994): Holes in History. In Interactions, 1 (3) pp. 11-16

A personal perspective on how and why the early history of today's major interface paradigm has been so often misreported. The popular media has a poor track record of accurately presenting the recent history of technology. Regarding the story of the origin of human-computer interfaces, they have been far off the mark.

Raskin, Jef (1989): Systemic Implications of Leap and an Improved Two-Part Cursor: A Case Study. In: Bice, Ken and Lewis, Clayton H. (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 89 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference April 30 - June 4, 1989, Austin, Texas. pp. 167-170.

The lowly text cursor is a non-issue for most interface designers. Nonetheless, current text cursor designs suffer from at least two problems: one-off errors and a lack of visibility of function. These problems are exacerbated in an editing environment which uses the extremely fast Leap cursor-moving technology. This paper presents solutions to these cursor design problems and reveals the surprising way many other aspects of system design can be improved as a consequence of designing the cursor correctly.

Raskin, Jef (1987): The Hype in Hypertext: A Critique. In: Weiss, Stephen and Schwartz, Mayer (eds.) Proceedings of ACM Hypertext 87 Conference November 13-15, 1987, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. pp. 325-330.

Hypertext has received a lot of mostly uncritical attention. The author sees it as one part inspiration and nine parts hyperbole. A number of user interface and technical problems are discussed.
