Summary
The way we interact with computers has transformed, from the classic keyboard-screen combination, to touchscreen and latterly — with the advent of digital personal assistants — to voice. These changing interfaces bring with them new challenges in creating software.
In this episode, regular co-hosts Alexey Villas Boas and Mike Mason are joined by Neil Redding and Barbara Wolff Dick as they explore the impact of innovation in our computer interfaces.
