The interface is only attached to the machine today for pre-digital constraints that no longer apply. We move the interface away from the machine towards the actual entity that counts in all of this; you.

This graphic explains human interface by comparison with user interface. It’s repeated below in text format should you have a small screen or use a screen reader.

User interface	Human interface
50 year old construct fit for 20th Century computing	for the pervasive digital environment of the 21st Century
up close to the machine	up close to the individual
designed for an ‘average’ user	created uniquely for the individual
the organization’s	the individual’s
the user must fit to the machine	fits the products to the individual
provides interactive information	enables knowledge building
degrees of awkwardness	ideal, so ‘disappears’
largely static design	dynamic, in the moment
‘the interface is the product’	the product is the product
