Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction:

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has its root in the early 1980s as a growing branch of computer science during the last three decades (Carroll 2013). Many professionals of other branches have come together in merging the diverse theories and ideas (Carroll 2013). HCI involves the interaction and studies of people, environment, and technology (Carroll 2013). HCI related to and is used in the modern world: “Human- Computer Interaction provides the answers to how Apple made the iPhone so unique, or how Amazon’s Kindle changed the way we read, or why your favorite websites are so easy to use when so many others make you want to scream ----->>>>(“Are”).”

Components:

Some components and ideas of the multifaceted area of HCI came from science, engineering and design with a mixture of methodology principles, such as: “...psychology, anthropology, sociology, and industrial design... ("Human-Computer”);” it is indeed a fascinating and mystic composition of study. During the course of history, the ways of teaching HCI has rapidly changed, and the knowledge we gained about the way of HCI has changed swiftly as well (McKay 21).
