UX is a complex, interdisciplinary field \u2014 and a rewarding, growing field to work in. In order to better understand UX and its context, it&#8217;s important to get a grasp of the history of UX \u2014 more specifically, how the field got to where it is today.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By reviewing the videos, lectures, and slides on this page and throughout the entirety of this module, you&#8217;ll obtain a more thorough understanding of the definition of UX, the history of UX, and the importance of it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, as we progress through this module, you&#8217;ll see me break down the bolded terms in the definition above. What constitutes an <strong>interaction<\/strong>? Why the term <strong>user<\/strong>, and what are the connotations of such a term? What kinds of products and services are we referring to, anyway? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all else, my goal is for you to understand <strong>why UX matters. <\/strong>Who knows?
