interviewed and written on most of the best-known people in the
business of information technology and management over the past few
years. He has led several design projects over the past two and a half decades. He was involved with the development of the Hawking Communicator, software designed to replace the traditional point-and-click computer interface paradigm. This solution looks first to assist people with severe disabilities, who are severely handicapped by current graphic computing systems. However, it may find wider acceptance as a breakthrough in natural language limitations.
Using available technology and methodologies creatively and
innovatively to manage with economy and efficiency is a feature of
Crishna's approach to solution-building. Meet Vickram Crishna at http://communicall.wordpress.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Read more about Jagdeep at http://jchhokar.googlepages.com |
