Buxton's talk is good, and you're right it is similar to Beaudoin- 
Lafon. Beaudoin-Lafon's main argument is for a change in approach to  
HCI - a broadening away from HCI to include context and  
phenomenology. Buxton's push is similar, but seems more targeted at  
inspiring his specific audience.

Going back to the question: How far have we come? Not far really...  
but there's more potential...
