Computing Information Technology: The Human Side

Summary: The Human Side of Technology
Review: The human side of technology is crucial but has not received the dedicated attention it warrants. The field has been dominated by the "under the hood" types who are comfortable with the technology, and assume everyone else is as well. However the people who use the technology for business advantage are the "above the hood" types who require ease of use. This publication focuses on the all important human side. It's about time!

The expanding use of technology has dramatically changed the way business is conducted. IT has been democratized with an estimate excess of 1 billion humans connected on-line to the Internet. It is a startling figure when you consider there are 5.6 billion people on our planet. This book focuses on the factors that enable sound connectivity to our growing on-line community.

As computers and the software that drives them grow more powerful, they are also growing too complex for many of the IT customers to use. This book emphasizes that using Information Technology should help people accomplish tasks and not be a task in itself.
