@The Impact Of Human-Technology Interaction: What Comes Next? #impact #human #technology #interaction #next
There are moments throughout history where we can point to the development of new technology and say: "These inventions proliferated deeply in society and changed the course of the way we live our lives."
Think of the scale of mass adoption and wide impact of smartphones, laptops and—even before that—desktop computers and television sets. They came into the market, took hold of consumers, became essential and completely revolutionized our everyday lives. They changed how we learn and teach, connect and communicate, perform work and have fun—fundamentally reshaping society and our place in it.
What made these products possible at the time they were introduced to the world are many breakthroughs in the constituent technologies, including unprecedented advances in computing and connectivity. However, every one of these products stands out because they also took a giant step forward in human-device interaction. It's how we interfaced with them that has changed the course of technology development and enabled broad adoption and applications of these new devices in our daily lives.
The early television sets brought magical new audio-visual entertainment experiences to consumers' homes, but they went mainstream after the introduction of remote control technology that enabled more convenient human inputs.
