HCI

HCI

I learned about human-computer interaction(HCI) this week.
This is key point that has implications for the aesthetic, ethics and evaluation of human- computer interaction, and people often interact with media technologies as though the technologies were people. HCI has questions related ethics, aesthetics & teleology, design. HCI has improved as tool. For example, there are memex, sketchpad, NLS, xerox alto, apple lisa, macintosh powerbook, www.
If we view objects, technologies and natural phenomenon as if they do, in fact, have goals and intentions, then we will design like an artificial intelligence resercher. On the other hand, if we view objects, technologies and natural phenomenon as if the just look like they have goals and intentions, then we will design like a tool builder for human users or operator of our tools.
