Abstract

We seem to be entering an era of enhanced digital connectivity. Computers and the Internet have become so embedded in the daily fabric of people’s lives that they simply cannot live without them (Hoffman et al., 2004). We use this technology to work, to communicate, to shop, to seek out new information, and to entertain ourselves. With this ever-increasing diffusion of computers in society, human-computer interaction (HCI) is becoming increasingly essential to our daily lives.
