"Web 2.0" is nothing more than a buzz word. However, inevitably this buzz word is strongly related with particular technologies and concepts.

As I have mentioned above, these technologies and concepts are able to enhance the web interaction. Unfortunately, most of them are inaccessible solutions which are often accompanied by “large in size javascript libraries and unnecessary/annoying effects”.

Indeed, the importance and significance of HCI is more clear nowadays. Nevertheless, many problems and issues continue to exist as they were described two decades ago by Norman. There is still room for improvements!

The “Web 2.0″ technologies have affect not only positively the interaction but negatively as well; one step forward, two steps backwards :) I strongly believe that only if these technologies are used correctly can provide improvements on the web interaction. Otherwise, things are getting worse with inaccessible content, large in size javascript libraries and unnecessary/annoying effects.

Hopefully HCI will not be such a big problem now with WEB 2.0 technology although i am sure it would still be an issue. I think it HCI nowadays is not getting the attention it used (although it should) as a priority item- although Jakob Nielsen in its latest book disagrees, since 3rd party software tend to have accessibility/usability in mind (not the crappy ones)!.

The answer to your question Nicolas is yes. I am doing the MRes course in Design and Evaluation of Advanced Interactive Systems at the University of Lancaster.

P.S. Don’t get me wrong, but I would like to keep this blog in English please.
