Abstract
A problem with the process of research in the human-computer interaction (HCI) community is addressed, in particular, an overemphasis on 'radical invention' at the price of achieving a common research focus. As a solution, it is proposed that the HCI community should achieve a common focus around the notion of reference tasks. Arguments for the advantages of the approach as well as potential difficulties are given.
