  Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design and use of computer technology, particularly the interfaces through which humans interact with computers. As technology has evolved, so too has the interaction between users and machines, and understanding this relationship is crucial for creating systems that are not only functional but also intuitive and user-friendly. At the heart of HCI is the goal of improving the interaction between users and computers to ensure usability, efficiency, and satisfaction. 
  The concept of HCI emerged as computing technology became more widely accessible and user-centric design became a necessity. Early computers were primarily operated by specialists, and the interface was often limited to text-based inputs and outputs. However, as computers evolved to serve a broader audience, the need for more sophisticated and user-friendly systems became clear. This led to the development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which are now commonplace in many computing environments, making interaction with technology more intuitive and visually engaging. 
  HCI as a field draws from various disciplines such as computer science, psychology, design, and ergonomics. The key principles in HCI are centered on understanding how users interact with technology, what their needs and preferences are, and how technology can be designed to meet those needs. At the same time, it focuses on the efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction that the interaction can provide. This involves studying human cognition, behavior, and the way people process information to ensure that systems are designed in ways that align with natural human capabilities.

  Amelia Mary Earhart, an American aviation pioneer and author, was born on July 24, 1897. During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe, Earhart and her navigator disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island on July 2, 1937. She was declared dead January 5, 1939. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set numerous other aviation records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. The following is a recording of her famous 1935 radio-broadcast speech: A Woman's Place In Science.

  This is a book about TRUTH—and all the ways we try to avoid it—from the bestselling author of Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up.We live in a “post-truth” world, we’re told. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time?Tom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other—and ourselves—about everything from business to politics to plain old geography. Along the way, he chronicles the world’s oldest customer service complaint, the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and the surprisingly dishonest career of Benjamin Franklin.Sharp, witty and with a clear-eyed view of humanity’s checkered past, Truth reveals why people lie—and how we can cut through the bullsh*t.

  Fatal Abstraction - Why the...

  Software was supposed to radically improve society. Outdated mechanical systems would be easily replaced; social media platforms like Facebook would bring people together; and generative AI would solve the world’s greatest ills. Yet in practice, few of the systems we looked to with such high hopes have lived up to their fundamental mandate. In fact, in too many cases they've made things worse. How did we get to this point? 
   
   
   
  In Fatal Abstraction, Darryl Campbell explains that the problem is "managerial software": programs created and overseen not by engineers but by professional managers with only the most superficial knowledge of technology itself. 
   
   
   
  A former tech worker himself, Campbell shows how managerial software fails, and when it does what sorts of disastrous consequences ensue, from the Boeing 737 MAX crashes to a deadly self-driving car to PowerPoint propaganda, and beyond. Yet just because the tech industry is currently breaking its core promise does not mean the industry cannot change. Campbell argues that the solution is tech workers with actual expertise establishing industry-wide principles of ethics and safety that corporations would be forced to follow. Fatal Abstraction is a stirring rebuke of the tech industry's current managerial excesses, and also a hopeful glimpse of what a world shaped by good software can offer.
