Abstract

The article discusses the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), exploring how the HCI field will manage to keep human values at the core of HCI. The author questions the nature of HCI's goals, how those in the HCI field should do their work, and whether HCI methods remain relevant. Topics include large changes in the sociotechnical landscape, computer systems that intrude into human lives, and the multidisciplinary nature of HCI. Also discussed are HCI techniques derived from cognitive psychology and human-factors engineering. INSET: Questions of Broader Impact.
