9.7 Summary
The utility of software and digital content will increasingly depend on 
HCI capabilities and less on the core functionalities of conventional 
computer hardware. The HCI issue is becoming more challenging 
as the number of computing platforms proliferates to accommodate 
the evolving usage situations (e.g., home, office, mobile, sales, vehi-
cles, military, etc.). Design of the HCI interface will continue to play 
a significant role as the influence of the standard desktop platform 
declines. Better design of HCI interfaces will give everyone better 
access to available services, intelligence, and knowledge. We will have 
power at our fingertips.
