Cybernetics of Human Computer Interaction
The Cybernetics of HCI: A Pragmatic Approach
This
video clip (approx 1 1/2 hours) gives a good introduction to the
circular causality studied by cybernetics and why it is more than just
control theory. Lecture by Paul Pangaro, Sun Microsystems
Seminar on People, Computers, and Design
Stanford University February 15, 2001
A discussion of cybernetics for HCI is pragmatic by nature because
cybernetics is a “science of interactions” for which human-computer
interaction is a subset. The ability of cybernetics to model the
progression and limitations of human communications holds insight for
difficult problems such as HCI design.
