Intro Labo. d'Utilisabilité
"During the past twenty years technology has advanced to such an extent that almost everyone come into contact with computers in one way or other. Unlike in the early days of computing, when only highly skilled technical people used computers, nowdays the range of knowledge and experience of different users is very broad. So, it is important that the way in which people interact with computers is intuitive and clear. However, designing appropriate HCI is not always straightforward, as the many poorly designed computer system testify. One of the challenges of HCI design is to keep abreast of technological developpments and to ensure that they are harnessed for maximum human benefit."
