In recent years, terms like \"hypertext\" and \"groupware\" have sometimes functioned that way. But such excesses have been countered by critical and debunking literature (e.g., Jones, 1987; Grudin, 1991). I would like to draw attention to another such device: the term \"scenario\". \"Scenario\" qualifies as a buzzword because it is extremely vague and has a myriad of uses. Indeed, it probably entered the HCI community from the US government bureaucracy, especially the military, where it remains a popular term for any detailed alternative possibility. Another established use is in business, in which a growth scenario describes the anticipated increase in demand for a product through the step-by-step fulfilment of a marketing plan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/142386.1054872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,17]],"date-time":"2007-01-17T18:32:02Z","timestamp":1169058722000},"page":"6-8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["WILL THE REAL SCENARIO PLEASE STAND UP?"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Robert L.","family":"Campbell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1992,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/97243.97285"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Human Factors in Computing Systems: CHI'90 Conference Proceedings (pp. 269--276)","author":"Whiteside","unstructured":"Whiteside (Eds.) , Human Factors in Computing Systems: CHI'90 Conference Proceedings (pp. 269--276) .
