Alan Cooper sees planning as key to downstream dividends
InfoWorld: In this interview, Cooper talks about what ails the industry today and what it should do -- including abandoning browser technology -- to reinvigorate itself. According to Cooper:: "The browser is a red herring; it's a dead end. The idea of having batched processing inside a very stupid program that's controlled remotely is a software architecture that was invented about 25 years ago by IBM, and was abandoned about 20 years ago because it's a bad architecture. We've gone tremendously retrograde by bringing in Web browsers." (2001-06-24)
