The Human-dimensions of Human-computer Interaction

Book excerpt: "This book uses a narrative style; simplifying jargon for the non-technical reader. It is a techno-journey commencing with the background history of computing to contrast with HCI in today's techno-world; filling the gap in the literature that only sparsely covers the vast number of human-dimensions (or social context) of computer usage. The target audience includes: IT professionals, postgraduate information systems' students, corporate trainers, general computer users, educational technology researchers, academics at universities and other types of community-based learning Institutions."--BOOK JACKET.
