Abstract Valentina Croci outlines how the new focus on the user in new technologies and human‐computer interaction is moving towards ‘cognitive engineering’. This puts less emphasis on the actual hardware and more on who uses it and how technology can give new meaning to our daily lives, as well as relevant computer interfaces.
