Subsequently, there are numerous other examples of "User Experience" in use through the late 1970's and early 1980's, largely restricted to the human-computer interaction communities and particularly in the context of user-centered design (UCD).
In recent years, "User Experience" has transcended simple interactions within computing environments and is used as a qualifier for various on- and offline experiences, ranging from person-to-person interactions, such as customer service, as well as analogue products such as the automobile.
User experience has thus evolved from HCI to broader issues of customer satisfaction and competitive differentiation, suggesting that it will remain a pertinent issue for design and business in the future.
