A reading of evolutionary theory sometimes seems to offer a closer model of technical change, with its series of almost randomly generated alternatives, tested by their environment. Communication ensures Lamarckian improvement, and perfect form eventually emerges. Human art and the continual recreation of culture short-circuits these notions. The Marxist idea of technical advancement as the inevitable response of the means of production to the pressure of capitalism is also incomplete. The way we engineer is in itself pure artefact and has to do completely with the... 

User-centered design is not just about building nice-looking and usable user interfaces, and software development is not just about implementing functionality that supports user tasks. Belonging to different traditions and times, the disciplines of software engineering (SE) and human computer interaction (HCI) have evolved separately and developed their own methods to meet the needs of software application customers and users. Over the last twenty years, especially, several practices have been developed in both communities. This illustrates the human-centered perspective s influence on the software development lifecycle. Stakeholder involvement in the requirements elicitation process and evolutionary process models [39], which enable iterative construction of the application software to best meet the user requirements, and the widespread use of prototyping by the HCI community are examples of the approximation of both disciplines [31].
