quality, powerful performance, and advanced features. It features a stunning display, a
powerful processor, an excellent camera system, and strong integration with the Apple
ecosystem. The device offers a combination of performance, design, and functionality

customers like me who have had positive experiences with Apple products may choose
to buy from the company again. However, purchasing decisions ultimately depend on
individual preferences, needs, and considerations for each product and its competitors in
the market but I would repeat my purchase with Apple again.

2. What is the difference between the terms ‘user interface’ and ‘human-computer interaction’?

ANS:
HCI: The term "HCI" refers to the entire area of study that focuses on how humans interact with
computers and the creation of computer systems that make this interaction possible. It covers a
range of topics, including user experience, system behaviour, feedback systems, and input
modalities.

User-Interface: UI focuses on a computer system's visual and interactive components that allow
users to interact with it. It entails creating the GUI, menus, buttons, icons, and other visible
elements that users interact with directly.

HCI is a broader field concerned with the overall study of human-computer interaction, while UI
specifically refers to the design of the visual and interactive elements that facilitate that
interaction. HCI encompasses UI design as one of its components, focusing on the user's entire
experience and system design, while UI design concentrates on the presentation and usability of
the interface itself.

3. Based on your opinion what are the some of the ways that working practices may change as a
result of introducing new technology?

ANS:
➢ Automation and increased efficiency: New technology can automate repetitive tasks,
reducing manual effort and increasing productivity.

➢ Remote work and flexible schedules: Technology enables employees to work from
anywhere, fostering remote work arrangements and providing flexibility in terms of when
and where work is performed.

➢ Changing work culture: Adopting new technology can shape a more innovative and
collaborative work culture, encouraging experimentation and embracing digital
transformation.
 ➢ Improved work-life balance: Technology facilitates better work-life integration by
providing tools and resources that enable employees to manage their professional and
personal lives more effectively.

➢ Skill development and upskilling: Introducing new technology often requires employees
to acquire new skills, leading to continuous learning and upskilling initiatives.

➢ Enhanced mobility and flexibility: Mobile devices and cloud-based applications enable
employees to work on the go, increasing mobility and flexibility in completing tasks.

With the use of digital tools, software, and systems, previously laborious and time-consuming
processes may now be completed quickly and effectively. As a result of this digital transformation,
employees are better able to concentrate on tasks that produce revenue and advance the
business.
