Time Human Computer Era

Knowingly or not, for years we are said to have been the highest degree - and eventually forced - get used to grasp and understand the machine, which in this case the computer.

Understand the habits of these machines can be seen from the way we interact with computers. We choose the menus, pressing buttons, and write the command line and so on. What we do is understand about the machine and how it works and then follow it.

Even the habit of understanding the computer is started from the first generation Z1 created by Konrad Zuse in 1935 until 1936. And habits of people understand this machine for long sounds 'weird' and disturbing.

Comprehend and understand the computer was not only done by the end user. Even programmers are still using inefficient in terms of making the program, which is pretending to be a computer that understands what the outcome. This seems also to make such a programmer has an inner closeness to the computer, I guess.

When someone does something that can not be done by computer, so no results are created. In fact, no human is rarely spelled out (sorry) stupid.

GUI in the Alto computer was to bring the windows on the screen and a mouse-driven cursor. Since then the technology was later adopted and we use to interact with computers today.

Technology can be seen that the interaction between humans and computers since early inspiration from the way children learn the coordination between eye and hand movements to complete a task. Inspiration is then brought researchers at Xerox PARC in the 1970s make the graphical user interface (GUI) and applied to the Alto computer.

Touch and sound technology of the computer can be enjoyed on a smartphone, tablet, cars, helicopters and so forth. Although it still has a limited capability, this technology has made people begin to abandon the habit of pressing the buttons or menus.

However, the era of computers to understand human interaction will end and change with the era in which we interact with the 'casual'. Cue from this era can be seen from the birth and adoption of touchscreen technology, the physical movement or gesture, and voice command.

Physical movement or gesture technology has actually been applied to several devices such as Apple trackpad his or her Kinect Microsoft. By using the technology of motion a person does not have to move the mouse to get things done.

It must be recognized that there are a lot of homework to be done so that the motion can be used as a means of interaction between humans and computers more than just play games.

Symptoms of the further use of touch technology has also been supported by a design that we can find lately. See Windows Phone, Flipboard, Windows 8, and Pingram.

In everyday life, this technology can be seen on a smartphone with Android 4.0 + is able to detect and verify the identity of users before it can access the smartphone.

The technology is also beginning to be present and will help it all is the facial recognition. Although the scope and development can be said to be limited but the introduction (and recognition) face has an important role when talking about security. With this technology one does not need to write down the password to open a closed access.

Maybe we will not see or feel the way it interacts with the computer as did Tony Stark in Iron Man movie in the near future. However, the present development of technology and touch, movement, voice and face recognition that we can begin to enjoy going to make human interaction with computers becomes much easier and humane.
