懒人有禅上曾经有过一次对“Three Waves of HCI”的讨论，猛击这里。

今天看到一篇07年的论文 The Three Paradigms of HCI，对“HCI的三波”有新的解读，文章娓娓道来，很有说服力。（直接复制粘贴了，懒人有禅嘛，哈利路亚）

1st Paradigm: Man-Machine coupling

The goal of work in this paradigm is to optimize the fit between humans and machines; the questions to be answered focus on identifying problems in coupling and developing pragmatic solutions to them.

2nd Paradigm: Mind-Computer symmetric, coupled info processor

It is oriented around the idea that human information processing is deeply analogous to computational signal processing. It put emphasis on a set of information processing phenomena or issues in computers and users such as ‘how does information get in’, ‘what transformations does it undergo’, ‘how does it go out again,’ ‘how can it be communicated efficiently’ etc.

3rd Paradigm: phenomenologically situated

其实吧，就是context sensitive

这段话说得很好：The 1st  and 2nd  paradigms acknowledge context primarily as “those non-technological factors that affect the use of the technology.” Under the 3rd paradigm, we ask not “how does context give our design meaning?” but instead “how does our design accommodate the context?” This latter question includes what we do not put into our design, our restraint, or “zensign.” It also encompasses the possibility that the technological system is reported not because it is particularly unique or attractive, but because of how it fits into the particulars of a complex situation. A consequence of this is that context is a central component not only to the problem (if any) but also to design and evaluation.
