Beyond Being There §

This document discusses the paper “Beyond Being There” presented at the CHI 1992 conference by Jim Hollan and Scott Stornetta. The paper argues that instead of simply replicating face-to-face interactions, technology should aim to go beyond that. It presents ideas, perspectives, and hypotheses based on what was achievable at that time.

The author expresses admiration for the foundational ideas written in the paper, which have influenced their own thinking and implementations.

Additionally, the author mentions that Scott Stornetta also proposed mechanisms that laid the groundwork for blockchain technology around the same period, further highlighting his significant contributions.
