SUMMARY:Foundations of Interaction Design
LOCATION:New York, New York, USA
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to “use” a computer? How do you “talk” to the
  machine in a way that it will understand, and how do you interpret its res
 ponse to you? Many principles of how we interact with computers are so fami
 liar to us that we don’t stop to think how they came to be that way. In thi
 s class, we’ll discuss this history of how people have adapted themselves t
 o these “thinking machines,” learn about many of the innovators who defined
  how we interact with computers today, and explore how over time we’ve chan
 ged the way computers work so they better meet our needs.
\n

 cts (like websites, software, or devices), an understanding of the foundati
 ons of the field will help you make more effective decisions. You will lear
 n the essential history that shaped the industry, making you better prepare
 d to face the challenges of tomorrow.
