Usability in China: Coming Soon?

BBC — “About 70 to 80% of internet users use broadband. One reason is that broadband access is quite cheap in China - it only costs about $10-15 a month for unlimited internet access.” (Chinese revolution turns hi-tech …)

Like many other people, I’m interested in the growth of China. I’m particularly interested in how technology is taking off. It is inevitable that there will be a huge demand for usability in the coming years.

A few years ago I interviewed my friend Daniel Szuc of Apogee Usability Asia Ltd. We focused on usability in Hong Kong in 2002, but the usability movement is growing on the mainland as well. Here are some clues to the growth:

UPA China
UPA Hong Kong
China HCI (Chinese)
User Friendly 2005 - Shanghai, China

In any event, there will soon be very strong demand for usability in China.
