Interactivity
In the fields of
information science,
communication, and
industrial design, there is debate over the meaning of Interactivity. In the "contingency view" of interactivity, there are three levels: Noninteractive, when a message is not related to previous messages; Reactive, when a message is related only to one immediately previous message; and Interactive, when a message is related to a number of previous messages and to the relationship between them.

interactive
<
programming> A term describing a program whose input and output are interleaved, like a conversation, allowing the user's input to depend on earlier output from the same run.
The interaction with the user is usually conducted through either a text-based interface or a
graphical user interface. Other kinds of interface, e.g. using
speech recognition and/or
speech synthesis, are also possible.
This is in contrast to
batch processing where all the input is prepared before the program runs and so cannot depend on the program's output.
