AGENDA

Introduction to HCI

Impacts of HCI on Economy

Impacts of HCI on Society

Impacts of HCI on Culture

Impacts of potential future developments in HCI

3

Human Computer Interaction

The study of how people interact with computers and planned design of human-centric interactive computer systems.

4

ECONOMY

Increase automation

Quicker and Accurate Inputs

Shop at ease

Mobile communication

Specialized Interfaces

5

Increased Automation

The advances in technologies make manufacturing tasks can now be completely automated. Machines can work constantly without having a break producing more accurate outputs than manual labors. Increasing automation leads to improving productivity.

Organization will no longer need a lot of people to work for them which leads to increasing amount of unemployed people.

Unemployment leads to weaker economy since unemployed people will not be spending much money on things.

6

Quicker and Accurate Inputs

High technology devices can read data automatically making thing much easier, quicker, more accurate and reducing complexity than manual inputs. Speed up and accurate inputs leads to quicker and correct outputs.

7

Shop at Ease

Shopping online is more convenient for users since they can

purchase whatever they want without needing to leave their

home.

E-Commerce website is much cheaper to set up than to build

a physical store or rent out the space.

People do less exercise sitting in front of computer all day long which could lead to unhealthy lives

Drawback

8

Mobile Communication

Allows different companies to make a deal or talk about the business over the internet or phone lines reducing both time and money for going manually.

9

Specialized Interfaces

Technologies like voice input, text-to-speech and thought input helps disable people to interact with the computer more efficiently and that affect to economy because even disable people would be useful person which in turns improve the productivity of the economy.

10

SOCIETY

Ease of Communication

Improved Usability

Remote Control

Specialized Interfaces

11

Ease of Communication

The ways we communicate is no longer limited to letters or face to face. Mobile technology has enabled people to communicate to anyone, anywhere, whenever they want.

This very ease of communication makes people unable to socialize well in person and it could also leads to

untrue or poorer relationships.

Benefits

Downsides

12

Improved UsabilityLater electronic devices make sure the input and output process are as simple and easy for the user as possible. With these user friendly devices, people do not require to have much training in order to control the functions of these devices like past generations. Examples of user friendly devices are touch screen, voice recognition and motion-sensing controller.

13

Remote Control

Remote controlled machines have been created for the purpose of allowing people to explore dangerous environments in complete safety. Remote control drones have been used in the army for monitoring the enemy territory without fear of being harmed. These machines can also be used for search & destroy collapsed buildings and scientific exploration. This is a much safer way to go these missions than sending in real people.

14

Specialized InterfacesHigh technology devices allow people with disabilities to help themselves without much help from anyone. It could make them confident and feel more independent so that they will no longer feel like they are being left behind from the society.

15

CULTURE

Improved social aspect

Minimized language barriers

Develop living standards

Deskilling

16

Improved Social Aspect

Everyone get a chance to learn about other cultures and traditions. Being able to understand one another will prevent causing offence and will open up new relations to other countries.

This in turns can have other culture influence on the society and it could diminish the own nation’s culture.

17

Minimized Language Barriers

Computers and smartphones can now help to translate other languages just by typing or saying words in native language and it will respond with translations in their chosen language. This simple use of translators can reduce the barriers between different cultures therefore people have been able to communicate easier not only for social aspect but also with work purposes.

18

Develop Living Standards

Comparing to 60 and 70 years ago, HCI has changed the way cultures work and live.

Some examples would be :

enabled people to communicate without having to be connected to

something by a wire,

nearly all manufacturing are using machinery,

people tend to surf on Internet for information rather than reading

hardback book and

even young children nowadays are exposed to a lot of technology.

This shows that our living standards are massively improved within few decades.

19

Deskilling

Deskilling work is when one's job is replaced with a machine which will be able to do the job quicker, faster

and for a lot cheaper.

Due to these new technologies, deskilling becomes more and more of a greater problem.

WHY ?

► Since automatic machinery removes the need of specialists and labor, it could increase the level of unemployment and employee can feel worthless and under value which makes them less motivated to work.

► many people are losing the skills that were present before. As technology

improves, people will dependent on machinery limiting their ability and thinking power to know how things will work.

IMPACTS OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS IN HCI

21

Future Development in HCI

As HCI continues to develop, there are many possible developments

that could be implemented in the future. Some potential developments

include:_

Artificial intelligence

3D Holographic Projection Technology

Thought Input

22

Artificial Intelligence

The study of science and technology that focuses on the creation of

intelligent machines that work and behave like humans. Robotics is a

major part of AI. Currently, no robots or machines exhibit complete

artificial intelligence.

23

Impacts of Artificial Intelligence

Nearly all the basic tasks done by humans will totally be

replaced by AI while human can spend more time doing more

constructive things.

×With machines that have their own intelligence with the ability

to think, analyze, and make decision like human, it could

potentially overpower human race.

×Human mind and its capabilities might go to waste

× Increases the possibility that these AI machines could take

unexpected actions beyond our control.

24

3D Holographic Projection

Magnificent technology that records the light scattered from an object

and present it in high resolution 3D object that allows the user to

interact with it without needing any special equipment.

25

Impacts of Holographic Technology

In future, holographic displays will be replacing all present displays in all sizes, from small phone screen to large projector.

Interactive visual 3D blueprints or designs could me made, or even become part of the overall design process.

× Without the need of any special device, people could face eye problems from 3D projection as their eyes are focusing directly on the screen.

26

Thought Input

Thought Input is technology that allow users to input and control the

interfaces according their thoughts.

Want to dial up your friend? In coming years, you'll simply think the

phone number and your phone will start dialing !!

27

Impacts of Thought Input

Things becomes much more easier, faster and productive .

Physical input devices are no longer needed.

Very useful especially for disable people who cannot speak

and can hardly move.

× Things will get worse if it is used for bad purpose.
