HCI is undoubtedly an interdisciplinary subject and the most prominent area of research. Many researchers are focusing in this field[1]. With time, the awareness and usability of HCI technologies among people has enormously increased and people are taking interest in exploring new domains in this area. We performed a survey on about 600 people including students, researchers, layman, professionals, etc. and analyzed their consciousness of current HCI technologies along with the future expectations. A graphical analysis of results has been outlined. Results highlight that people are involving themselves in the deployment of prevalent HCI technologies and look forward for a highly positive effect in near future with the emerging HCI technologies. Through this process we may circumvent the myth about user interface for impact of user interfaces to our societies. The gradual improvements in work culture and acceptance level of HCI have been highlighted besides potential health hazards.
