Test 1 Human Computer Interaction (Section 1)

Human Computer Interaction is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology and in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and _________________________________.

• Engine

• Machine

• Computer

• Application

Interaction between ______________________________ occurs at the user interface which includes both software and hardware.

• easy to remember how to use

• people and machine

• user and computers

• usable and safe systems

The goals of HCI is to produce ______________________________, as well as functional systems.

• enjoyable to use

• usable and safety systems

• easy to remember how to use

• put people first

HCI should always consider about what ____________________________, what physical abilities and limitations they may have, how their perceptual systems work, and what they find attractive and enjoyable when they use computers.

• achieve efficient and safe interaction

• user interaction

• put people first

• users aspect and needs

"During this time, HCI was mainly focused on creating systems that were easy-to-learn and easy-to-use. There were endless possibilities for personal computing, but desktop computers were not very usable tools at first."

The description above best described the waves from _____________________.

• Wave 1 : Desktops and mental models (1980s - 1990s)

• Wave 2: Collaboration & communication (1990s — early 2000s)

• Wave 3: Self-expression, social change (mid 2000s — 2010s)

• Wave 4: Millennium era (end of 2010s — 2050s)

During the era of self-expression, self-reflection, and social consciousness, value-driven design takes the lead in engaging communities and designing for sustainable change.

• True

• False

During desktop and mental model era, HCI draws increasingly from philosophy and ethics to provide rhetoric on the consequences of habit-forming technology, and the responsibility of their creators.

• True

• False

Email gained popularity during self-expression and social change era, which meant that the people were not just interacting with computers, but they were interacting with each other through computers.

• True

• False

In order to produce computer systems with good usability, developers must attempt to achieve efficient, effective and safe interaction.

• True

• False

Usability is one of the key concepts in HCI because it plays an important role in achieving the goal of designing interface.

• True

• False
