That means "Human Computer Interaction" tech-noobs :)
"The prevailing computer-human interaction (CHI) model of interface design has been partly responsible for the current state of the desktop computer. The breakthrough on which the field emerged was the admission of psychological principles. The resulting graphical user interface has been the focus of the field of computer-human interaction for nearly 20 years. This interface is a virtual control panel whose design has remained quite technology-centered."

Couldn't agree more. Was discussing last night how Microsoft Windows is based on real-world principles of filing systems (files, folders, the desktop itself). But - considering the quotation above - that's where it ends.
