PURPOSE With a correct understanding of users, their interaction infrastructures and their interaction behavior, system designers can be better equipped to build interfaces that maximize the user’s experience on any technological service. The purpose of this project is to evaluate social computing behavior in developing countries using twitter data to understand the possible role design interfaces has on these. Computing behavior is affected by the degree of availability (frequency and duration)
HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION – The Psychological aspects Human-Computer Interaction, abbreviated HCI, has simply been explained as the study of how people interact with computing technology (Olson & Olson 2003). It is the intersection between psychology and the social sciences, on the one hand, and computer science and technology, on the other. Throughout the past two decades HCI researchers have been analysing and designing specific user interface technologies, studying and improving the processes
Human Beings and Computers Perfect Together? Every day you come in contact with numerous computers. Some interactions are intentional and others happen without you realizing it. Computers have made life easier. Over 72% of households have internet connections. (Administration, 2013) Students from an early age are surfing the net, playing games and completing homework assignments. Advanced medical imaging and treatment devices are now controlled by computers. Assembly-line production in manufacturing

Computer revolution has brought many changes in the world, changes which encloses all manners and its role. Computers have been logged into every sector whether it is sports, airlines, road cameras, cars, businesses etc. Technology plays an important part in altering our lifestyle. Advantages of Human Computer Interaction • Changing Computers: - Internet, PC and web browser were three big inventions of HCI without these three our today would not have been possible. Computers affect our daily routine
Introduction Desjardins’ Human-Computer-Human Interaction model (HCHI 2001, 2005) is an epistemological template for how a user, the technology that user is operating, and the processes of systems, are interdependent entities. In addition, certain competencies are needed for this relationship to function, along distinct dimensions (Desjardins, 2001, p.1). This HCHI model, as described by Desjardins, Lacasse and Bélair (2001), was an attempt to address specific competencies that were related to
Human Computer Interaction is an emerging field that encompasses computer science along with cognitive science, psychology, artificial intelligence, industrial design and human factors engineering. A few decades back the field was confined to personal productivity applications. However, now it has diversified and includes aspects as varied as information systems, visualization, system development process and collaborative systems. The researchers in this field find novel ways and technologies that
Haptic Interfaces The usage of Haptic Interfaces on everyday devices has revolutionized the way that we will interact with computers and mobile devices for everyday usage. In this paper, I will contend that Haptic interfaces will be used in my Car Checker application, because it will be helpful with light, stimulating jolts of touch feedback in regards to buttons being pressed in the application and the vibrations that come with the application notifications. Before I will talk about the different
knowledge is always pushing me to discover the cutting edge frontier of technology transformation, I cannot give up revealing the complexity concealed by its simplicity. My pursuit of Master degree in Human Centered Design and Engineering at Washington University, with focus in Human Computer Interaction and User Experience, is the natural outgrowth of my artistic creativity interacting with my great interests in technology and engineering, given the projects I have worked on, the research I am engaged
Computer Mouse The Computer Mouse The computer mouse first came about in the early 1980's. The idea being that the movement from the users hand could be turned into signals that the computer could read moving the cursor around and also allowing the buttons to function when pressed. Today there are a few different types of computer mice on the market. These being the mice that use the traditional tracking ball, the optical mouse and the mouse that has no physical connection to the computer
of hours spent on computers today is "masking" many human needs. In the United States today, over 57 million people are using these hours by getting Online (Telesys). Information can be accessed through 320 million different web pages with a single push of a button. Hours are spent receiving and giving information. People are now, more than ever, able to communicate with others by using the World Wide Web. Someone once said, what is one mans gain is another mans loss. The computer age, especially the
The Future of Computer Technology Where is the future of computers and computer intelligence heading? Is it good? Is it the wrong direction yet the right track? A look into the past, the present, and the future of computers will likely make up the mind of a person who hasn’t thought about this topic. From a humanist stand point, I do not think the future is bright but from a computer development stand point, the future look endless. The computer was first thought up by a guy named Alan Turing
Human Interaction via the Internet Throughout the course of this class, and more specifically the process of generating an idea for my final project, I found myself drawn time and again to the way people interact with each other electronically namely the internet. Having been involved in computers and nearly everything related for the majority of my life I have experienced a number of different tools and applications from chat rooms to online games to instant messaging that provide a means of
is a major determinant in one's emotional and mental state. This paper will focus on architectural elements, such as floorspace, room layout, and occupancy levels of University residence halls, and how said design elements enhance or impede human interaction and individual moods. In addition to a general overview of the principles of environmental psychology and how they are routinely ignored by Florida State University in their dormitory architecture, several residence halls will be considered and
Surveillance INTRODUCTION Today’s technology has changed the way we live. It has changed the way that we view the environment, act when out in public, and the way we go about doing our daily task. Computers have greatly increased our capabilities to achieve our goals much faster. Human interaction between people has decreased because of this technology. The changes continue daily with an endless stream of new ideas and ways of doing things. There seems to be no end in site. This technology
and moral negligence. We are never certain of the cause of Ben’s alcoholism, especially when he says “I don’t remember if I started drinking because my wife left me, or my wife left me because I started drinking.” In a last attempt and hope of human interaction, Ben pays the hooker Sera, played by Elisabeth Shue, 500 dollars to spend a night with him. Sera is magically attracted to the loser type of man, as Figgis shows us with her boyfriend Yuri, her abusive pimp and boyfriend. This drama is about
fifteen years in hopes of making a point. The terms of the wager are that the lawyer is to live in solitary confinement without any human interaction for fifteen years, but is granted any books, music, wine, etc. that he wants. As the fifteen years pass, the lawyer discovers the significance of human life. Anton Chekhov’s “The Bet” emphasizes the idea that the life of a human is far more valuable than money. The perceived value of money is misconstrued by numerous people. As illustrated in the story
male-hunter-gatherer strolled along burdened with no more that his spear and a throwing stick, his female mate trudged along after him carrying their infant, their shelter, their food supplies and her digging stick." It appears that, from the moment of human interaction and language, and its implicit category making of social divisions, women have always been associated with the private, and men with the public. From the beginning of first wave feminism and the fight for women's suffrage, women have been
to find political associations, it is also true that not all human associations are political. Aristotle rightly points out the family is a basic form of association that is mostly apolitical. Religion brings people together, as does the economic desire to trade and pursue economic activity. None of these spheres of human activity can be said to necessitate politics. These spheres of human action however, are seemingly found wherever human beings can be found, hence they are more natural in the sense
importance of appearance through the tale of an unwanted creation that is never given a chance by society. Ironically, the supposed beast was initially much more compassionate and thoughtful than his creator, until his romantic and innocent view of the human race was diminished by the cruelty and injustice he unduly bore. Not only does the creature suffer the prejudice of an appearance-based society, but other situations and characters in the novel force the reader to reflect their own hasty judgment.
