Ideas for what Might get included in talk:
Start at the beginning - for comedic effect.
Scrolls - as the start of recording history in some civilizations - wiki scroll
Replaced by Codex (books) wiki books
The reason pages beat scrolls in the physical world was better UX.
- easier to transport.
- a codex allows random access, as opposed to a scroll, which uses sequential access.
- bla bla bla - other examples
Data vis on scrolls vs data vis in books. (perhaps make the case that scrolls had some benefits over books in this arena in terms of UX & access)
to the Creation of the Web - or perhaps just GUIs
(insert humorous timeline of events between scrolls and scrolling - xcd style)
Some things have changed
Origin of the scrollbar
Scrollbars on the Right - gives some background / history of the scrollbar. when it jumped from left to righthand side. some experimentation done with early HTML browsers.
GEOS - page metaphor alternative.
Show early mouse and scrollbar examples
Scrollbar examples - image from https://twitter.com/ilistes/status/250658949467099136 or http://mashable.com/2012/09/26/scrollbar-history/ (could update with latest ones from Yosemite - if they look different...)
Question to research: What was the original thought around the web page - was it more of a page in a book or more of a scroll on a shelf?
- scroll allows complete access all at one time.
- But UX still isn't great
Fun Google trends links:
Good overview of the initial development of the scrollwheel on Coding Horror
"I would argue that the mouse wheel is the first true mouse innovation since the invention of the mouse itself." -- Jeff Atwood
Patents:
Mice have turned into track pads have turned into touch screens.
Now the experience is ready for the scroll, but is web technology?
Trolling mice should die post: mice should die
"The core tenets apply: immersive environments; first-person perspectives; interactivity at the forefront, yet not detracting from the core story; and a pervasive sense of empathy with those who are sharing their stories."
Calls it "transmedia" as well... not sure if that is a thing...
Narrative Visualizations - Jeff Heer - 2010:
"Visualizations themselves may incorporate a variety of media, including text, images and video, and can also be interactive, enabling stories whose telling relies as much on the reader as on the author."
Its relation to data visualization
Its use of mixed media
Steppers vs Scrollers.
