A concise history of human computer interaction from Vannevar Bush's Memex to the introduction of Windows.
"Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study of how people design, implement, and use interactive computer systems, and how computers affect individuals, organizations, and society. This encompasses not only ease of use but also new interaction techniques for supporting user tasks, providing better access to information, and creating more powerful forms of communication. It involves input and output devices, interaction techniques, how information is presented and requested, how the computer's actions are controlled and monitored and all forms of help, documentation, and training. It also includes tools used to design, build, test, and evaluate user interfaces and the processes that developers follow when creating interfaces. "
