Week 1 Human Computer Interaction

Hi, I'm Sieh Inn Tyan, normally my friends call me Jasmine. Well, now I'm going to post about what I have learn from the lecture class this week.

What is HCI?

• HCI - Human Computer Interaction.
• Human Computer Interaction is the study of how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings.

HCI are all about Human and Computer.
Human <----------->Computer
There are quite a number of company and academic institute now study and doing research on HCI.

What is Interaction?

• A kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another.
• The act or process of interacting.
• The state of undergoing interaction.

Above are the meaning of interaction that I can get online, so now how is a good interaction?
for me, a good interaction is just like anyone try to say something out to another person, and that message that he or she trying to say are understand by the other.
And now when someone wants to delivered some message to another person, but the person can't get what he or she trying to say, then that is a bad interaction.


The Chinese greatest inventions are paper making, compass, printing and gun powder........
Thomas Edison has invent light bulb , Motion picture ...........
Design is everywhere, and anything can be design.
Invent and Reinvent..

Why people keep inventing and reinventing? What is the purpose of that?
"Design is to making things better for people."
When design something, these are the thing we need to think about, who are going to use this, how is the appearance that can attract people to use this? and many many more, we are designing them for people..

Well, I feel quite interesting about this class, there are many things we can talk about and think about, we can have a lots of discussion in class, and the lecturer are very friendly, I like the slide also, not much words but can communicate with us ( good interaction). I'm looking forward to the next class.=)
Thank you.
