ABSTRACT
A century has passed since magazine editor Arthur Strand imagined a world where people could communicate with anyone, anywhere, anytime [Strand 1898]. Today with the advent of portable computing and communications this is becoming possible. The nearly ubiquitous mobile phone allows people to have access to wearable collaborative audio spaces, extending their mouths and ears across continents. Videoconferencing and collaborative applications common on the desktop are appearing on the laptop, extending our sense of sight as well. Mobile computers and displays allow the use of visual and
audio enhancements to further aid the communication process. As computing is applied to the task of communication the Human-Computer Interface will give way to a Human-Human Interface mediated by computers.
