Usability Quote of the Day

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

Child Computer Interaction - Taking bigger steps!

On children and technology interaction...

"Child Computer Interaction (CCI) is that branch of HCI that considers interactions between children and technologies. Not surprisingly, CCI borrows many thories and methods from HCI but also has close ties to education and gaming.

As a genre, CCI has been steadily developing over the last few years; much of the momentum has come from the Interaction Design and Children (IDC) Conference Series and from the establishment of research groups across the globe including specialised groups in the USA, the UK, and the Netherlands.

Following a successful workshop at INTERACT 2005, a special edition of the journal "Computers Technology and Work" is planned for 2006. The editors are looking for contributions that address methodological issues in Child Computer Interaction Research. The deadline for contributions is the 24th February 2006 and further details can be found at www.chici.org.""   continued ...   (Via Usability News)
