About

Overview The relationship between humans and computing is multi-faceted and constantly changing. In the 1970’s when personal computing began, people had to adapt to computers, which were machine-like and impersonal. Text was plain, graphics were non-existent, and technical knowledge was required. As technology advanced, it was adapted more toward human needs, making the experience more desirable, for example, with desktop publishing and later with streaming video. Mobile computing continued to transform the relationship, making computing more personalized and pervasive.This Informatics - Human-Centered Computing cognate introduces you to how humans and computers interact and the resulting implications. Various avenues are explored from how information is organized and delivered to how behaviors must adapt—human or computer.How can you adapt an interface developed for American users in a way that makes sense to someone who speaks Japanese?
