Human-computer interaction originated to make it easier for people to interact with their computers and to study how humans experienced technology. But, when the computer moved off the desktop and into our daily lives often capturing every move we make, designers had to either look to build trust and empathy into their systems, or persuasion and influence, leading to many claims such as Facebook helping Trump win the 2016 presidential election.

From the design of the first user interface with lightbulbs and switches to wearables such as Fitbits on our wrists, we look at what it means to be human in the field of human-computer interaction and the experiences, both good and bad, that we now have as a consequence.
