The document provides a brief history of user experience (UX) design from its roots in communication and early forms of writing to modern developments in computing, the internet, and experience design. It traces key innovations from printing presses and telegraphs to mice, web browsers, and the concept of experience realms. The history shows how UX design has evolved from a focus on usability and human factors to encompass creating immersive experiences that engage users at different levels of participation.
