Through the past two decades, Human Computer Interactions emerged as a focal areaudof computer science research and development. Human Computer Interaction is aboutuddesigning computer systems that support people so that they can carry out their activitiesudproductively and safely. And this has a role in playing in the design and development of alludkinds of system. Although advances in technology tend to drive advances in field, technologyudneeds to be usable as well as functional. According to Terry Winogard (1990)” Except forudspecial things like computer games, people don’t use computer because they want to useudcomputer, they use computer because they want to write papers, they want to communicateudwith people, and they want to design bridges and so on. Whatever they are doing, theudcomputer is an enabling device that can help them to do it”. Designing interactive computerudsystems to be effective, efficient, easy and enjoyable to use is important, so that people andudsociety may realize the benefit of computation-based devices
