During this course, you have been studying various guidelines for designing interfaces between computer systems and users. The purpose of these guidelines is to facilitate interaction between humans and computers by optimizing learning, decision accuracy and timeliness, information gathering, and overall user satisfaction and usage of a system. In many cases, these guidelines serve to help the user to maximize his efficiency and effectiveness when performing a task.

 

In the same way that HCI guidelines are designed to assist users in achieving success in their interactions with computers, God also is man’s helper and his shepherd. In Hebrews 13:6, God is described as man’s helper:

 

“So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”

 

Compare and contrast the role of guidelines in HCI to the role that God plays in our lives in providing guidance, direction, and help. Quote a minimum of two verses from the Bible to support your analysis.
