Grand Old Man of HCI, Jack Carroll, explains the history of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and how the field gave birth to User Experience and Interaction Design. Few people know the history of fields like UX, IxD, Usability and Human-Centered Design as Jack does. His entry is a must-read for those who have ever asked themselves, "Where does our field come from?"

We make research accessible through our 4 sections:

Whenever we capture the complexity of the real world in formal structures, whether language, social structures, or computer systems, we are creating discrete tokens for continuous and fluid phenomena. In so doing, we are bound to have difficulty. However, it is only in doing these things that we can come to understand, to have valid discourse, and to design.
