Description
Brad Myers’ invaluable Pick Click Flick! is a comprehensive study of the different ways humans interact with computers and digital devices. The author defines how an “interaction technique” begins with a user action and is responded to with direct feedback from the device, ranging from physical buttons to gestures on touch screens to voice assistants.
The book begins with a review of the history of the invention and development of these techniques, analyzes their current status, and concludes with a look at the future and the latest academic achievements. For added interest, the author has briefly interviewed the main inventors of these technologies, such as the inventor of copy-paste (Larry Tesler) and the inventor of desktop icons, to record their first-hand experiences.
