2. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary
field of study focusing on the design of computer
technology and, in particular, the interaction between
humans (the users) and computers. While initially
concerned with computers, HCI has since expanded to
cover almost all forms of information technology design.
