The Association for Computing Machinery defines human-computer interaction as "a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them, " whereas others define HCI as the study, planning and design of the interaction between people and computers and often regarded as the intersection of computer science, behavioral sciences, design and several other fields of study.
HCI Analysis include:
Website ease of use & preferences as a function of gender Research
demonstrates that it takes visitors a 20th
of a second to make a decision about a website (BBC News, 2006). Considering
first impressions can influence whether a visitor decides to leave the site or
explore it further, perhaps website designers should keep the end goal in

keep their personal lives and business lives very separate when it comes to
social media, according to the 2009 Women in Social Media Study by BlogHer,
iVillage, and Compass Partners. While women consider blogs great sources of
information, especially regarding purchases, the vast majority of women use
social networks solely for keeping in touch with family and friends. So, do you know the main demographic using your website? Is it meant to attract women, men, or both? If targeted toward a specific sex, there are some things you might need to know about how men and women use websites and approach the buying process. So take the following information, gleaned from studies and surveys, and apply it how you think best - read more. For further reading on human computer interaction, click here
