Human and Computers Interaction

The study of computer based Information Systems (IS) is not just limited to traditional computers and servers, but also includes such devices as:

In this article Car referenced many sources, one of which includes the University College London, who conducted a five-year research program, that examined computer

The excessive use of computers has drastically changed the lives of many users. As a multifaceted tool, the computer is used for tasks to include research, homework, business related

The constant viewpoint recognizes the fields of human-machine frameworks and human- computer interaction which are generally firmly related. Research in human-machine interaction has been performed for over 50 years. Great outlines of human-machine interaction and systems have gained a high market value for many products and services in application areas, for example, industrial, transportation, medical, and entertainment systems(Johansen,

Credentials: I have been involved in various aspects of the computer use for over twenty years. The fascination of the empowerment that learning how to tame the machine has been feeding over the years the interest in a field, that brought to life evolution of the technologies that have changed our world.

Technological advances have been exploding in the past few years at an astounding speed. Gone are days of dial up internet access and waiting to download files that took hours. The technology today will allow a person to send and receive information in seconds. Smart phone technology has virtually replaced the need for a desk top computer or even a laptop. The invention of touch screens for computer and cell phones allows the user to eliminate the keyboard and use a finger or a stylus pen (O’ Brien & Marakas n.d.).

The rise of personal computers in the workplace has been very dramatic since their general introduction many years ago. The computing industry is unique in that it is continuously improving in a never ending effort for enhanced productivity and ultimate portability. From the first personal computer, the space hogging IBM 610, to the random mix of smartphones, tablets, two-in-ones, laptops, and desktops of today, that mission continues to refine and polish the idea of the personal computer in an effort to create and re-create the most versatile platform for getting things done.

On the other hand, computers are one of the technologies that changed greatly over time the most. they can make our work easier, well-organized and more convenient than using the old ways of writing and computing files. From bulky computers with CPU, keyboards and mouse, have changed into portable laptops and net book which help us access Internet immediately. Computers are also becoming touch screens. More like tablets today. We better take note that we don’t have to use our mouse or keyboard because they are operated with just a touch of our hand. It feels like we are writing in our notepad, yet so easy.

Computers and Internet are the most conventional tools. Considering that most of the adults reported in 2016 are older than 45 years old and most of the electronic devices have been on the market for more than 20 years, I infer that some of the American adults do not know how use a computer and its applications (Ryan 2). Nowadays, every individual and organization gives electronic devices different uses, but the truth is that technological advances have been an essential tool to facilitate some jobs. Some people, for example, use computers and the Internet to take care of certain financial and personal activities like paying a bill or shopping online; others use advanced hardware and software to do complicated processes such as controlling

Technological advancements have created new opportunities for individuals, organizations and societies. The contemporary society has taken the use of the computer hardware and software so seriously that organizations that have not embraced the platform are considered irrelevant in the highly busy and competitive contemporary business environment. Opportunities as well as challenges have been created to organizations and individuals by the advances of the new technologies creating new and advanced computer hardware and software. With these advances, human beings are becoming increasingly over-dependant on the use of the computers. Many tasks that

The way a person writes, learns, gathers information, purchases items, listens to music, watches television and films etc., has gradually changed over time. These simple tasks are now conducted and accessed digitally through the mediums of electronic technology such as computers and the Internet. This

Various technologies have been developed to allow for human-computer interaction in gaming. The main ways of human-computer interaction in gaming are through a mouse and keyboard, a controller and through a touchscreen. Controllers have evolved greatly since their inception, at the same rate video games have advanced. Controllers started with pong paddles. They came in many variations but the main concept was some form of slider, whether it moved vertically, horizontally or rotated to move the player up and down the screen during a game of pong. Some only allowed for 1D up and down movement, while more advanced ones allowed for 2D movement with the Fairchild Channel F allowing for 2D movement,

In general, this report proves adhering to good human computer interaction, usability, and accessibility guidelines is compulsory if one is to produce a successful product. Following on from this conclusion, it is apparent that the report briefly covers a small volume of these elements, the Study Administrator did desire, to widen the depth of research into the dynamic fields and disciplines of Human Computer Interaction, a good reason for this was because, as the report gained traction it became clear that there was an abundance of knowledge to be gained in this area of expertise. Nevertheless, the research conducted did encapsulate the results in its meaning entirely.

With the purchase of Swagger Distribution, a company that distributes clothing and apparel by a new owner; she is looking to make some changes in the IT area of her company. Since, she does not have any IT experience and has consulted me as an IT consultant to help her regarding the matter. After careful research and evaluation of her company’s current IT infrastructure the following areas have been explored and the recommendations that follow are best suitable for the company according to what the new owner wants.

A study by (Lambert, 1999) discovered that family historians are collectors, they collect information about people, places, names and stories. Our father Albert, was no different he lovingly compiled the family history because it gave him a perspective on our past and present. To give us an opportunity to learn about our heritage and build on it (Sharbrough, 2005, p. 64). Although it was common for people of his generation to research and record on paper. Albert decided to embrace computer technology, used the Osbourne 1 computer to record our story, and store it on a series of 5 1/4” floppy disks. The recent discovery of the computer and the disks has ignited curiosity from our scattered younger family members around the world about their contents. However, a report by a computer technician revealed the Osbourne 1 is not in working order but the data on disks may be recoverable. Also, when the family history is made accessible technological obsolescence issues will need to be managed. So that access to the document is available to all who want now and into the future.
