In the past, computer work was a profession for specialists.

Today, however, interaction with electronic devices is a major part of our daily lives.

From early childhood onwards we are connected to the internet, telecommunications and networks of computer-based technologies.

The emerging challenges in this radically evolving field are not so much with the nature of new technologies, but with their design.

How should these technologies be experienced in our lives?

How can they support and enhance our everyday practices?

What should they help us become?

These programs train students to address these issues through the design of new interactive technologies.
