A New Paradigm for Computers, Pad Computers, and Phones: The Human Connection User Interface

In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, effective communication and collaboration are more important than ever. However, the traditional model of computer organization, based on applications and files, can create barriers to efficient and productive teamwork. The old way of doing things is so inefficient that companies are implementing privacy-destroying AI tools to help organize the info in your computer. And everything is such a mess because it is organized around hundreds of different apps, each of which is a separate silo that doesn't communicate with anyone else. And your hardware platforms are all different silos that don't share info with each other either.

To address this challenge, we propose a new paradigm for digital collaboration: the human centered user interface (HCUI). At the heart of this approach is the idea that our digital tools should be organized around people, rather than apps or files. By making contacts the central focus of the user experience, we can create a more personalized and intuitive way of working, where all of our communication, collaboration, and information management needs are integrated into a single, seamless platform.

Key features of HCUI include:

• A human tab, where users can easily access and manage the people in their lives. This is the main screen in the UI to emphasize that people come first. You can tie everything about an individual in this screen. You can track all methods of communication for a person here.
• A group tab can allow you to group people into groups for family, friends, work, acquaintances, and other groups you are a member of.
• A project tab, where all communication, file sharing, and task management are integrated into a single, unified interface. And projects can be grouped as well, for personal, family, work, bowling, electronics project, however you like. 

What used to be different apps and messaging methods becomes subsumed into the projects. Import your contacts in standard format, or manually enter them. Create or open a project and add people and groups to the project you want to communicate with about the project. Any info about the project is stored in the project. Communicating with people, tasks, scheduled events, web browsing done for the project are all logged here. 

Instead of trying to find that file you downloaded about the bowling schedule you can just look in the bowling project and see the file saved right there. 

Support for multiple communication channels, including email, chat, voice, and video are integrated into the project too. Each of these just become a way to communicate inside a project that are all treated the same and tracked in that project. A phone text message will be logged in the same interface as a chat on IM you had about the project. If you browse from within a project all the links you visit are logged into that project and you can bookmark webpages for that project.

Integration with existing tools and platforms, such as GitHub and cloud-based file sharing services. Cross platform, sharing the same set of contacts, groups, and projects across all your hardware devices. So when you make a call on your phone, associated with a project, it appears on your desktop in that project. If you add a file to the project on your desktop, you can edit it on your phone.

And you can look a person on the person tab and see a log of every call, im, email, file shared, in chronological order, starting with the most recent.  Did you call Bob this week about that thing.  Yep. You put a note on the phone log entry when you made the call. 

Moreover, this software should be completely open source. This should be under the GPL so that any changes anyone makes to HCUI have to be shared with everyone else. If you found value in the project, it is only fair for you to give back to the project.

By adopting this people-based approach, we can create a more human-centered and intuitive way of working, where collaboration and communication are effortless and seamless. Where the websites, communicate, and files are naturally just grouped together instead of being in dozens of different silos that each have to be searched individually. This paradigm shift has the potential to transform the way we work, learn, and connect with others in the digital age.
