Challenges in Human-Computer Interaction from a Retrospective Perspective: A Global Reflection with Emphasis on Latin America

Abstract

Undeniably, the design and construction of tools to support task execution marked a turning point in our development as a species and society. Some even argue that this point defines our transition to intelligent beings. One of the most significant consequences is that we understand our ability to change and modify the environment for our benefit and comfort. However, it took several thousand years, with the advent of the information and computing era, for us to feel the need to reflect on how we interact with and relate to a particular tool, one that has enabled significant transformations in our environment. This need transformed the human-computer relationship into a subject of interest, study, and research [1], [2].
