Abstract
Over the past 30 years, our approach to designing technology has evolved in response to a dramatically changing marketplace. Many of these changes were a reaction to an ever-increasing shift in people’s expectations for the use of technology. The result is a sure-to-continue cycle where technological innovation and better design elevate user expectations, further driving future design and innovation. In response to these changes, the human computer interaction (HCI) discipline must reexamine past research and professional practices and make appropriate accommodations to better serve new technologies, conditions, and market pressures. The need for this chapter should not be viewed as a failure of past efforts. Instead, this is simply a continuation of the discipline’s ongoing evolution from industrial psychology to human factors and then to HCI.
