. (131) This critique makes sense coming from a cyberspace architect who wants to escape the two-dimensional organization of information that has dominated from the time of antiquity in order to enter an era of three-dimensional representations in the form of virtual reality. Benedikt's point, similar to one made above, concerns the conversion, the flattening, of a three-dimensional representational space into a two-dimensional one. Theorists of human-computer interface design also critique the... desktop metaphor as manifesting residual literacy, which is said to limit the ways that information can be stored and retrieved electronically. Alan Kay, for instance, writes that "the very idea of a paper 'metaphor' should be scruti- nized mercilessly" (199), and he goes on to attack the desktop metaphor, the idea of the "folder," and the metaphors in HyperCard, the latter of which are not "just imitating paper with a vengeance — it is building in a limitation not imposed by the physical world" (200).
