Unit 2
People
Our class explained the relationships between computers and people. More specifically how, why, where and at what level they interact. People use computers by first creating them. They use them in order to be more productive than they were before. They can be used in virtually every any situation for any purpose. Many different people use computers and many different levels, from entry level users who merely use computers to play solitaire, to those who use them every day to do their job, and finally those who use them on a more interactive level which could consist of creating or developing. We also discussed the complications involved with them. By far the most influential factor to the success or failure of computer interactions is the human emotion. Computers do not have feelings and therefore have no sympathy to the user who could be having a good day. The emotions of a human from one minute to the next could change and thereby affect the performance, output, and input between the computer and the human. For example, if I am having a great day at work, I will most likely produce good work. If on the other hand, I am having a horrible day, my work will reflect.
