Do the interface of computer change or effect humans, our feeling/ emotion?
Yes they actually did, a good interface equals to good emotion, and a bad interface equals to bad emotion.
A good interface means the computer contain good usability and functionality, it very convenient for human to work with, a good interface reduce the stress of human when they're using it, while a badly designed interface will increase the frustration of a person.
Not only the interface of computer must be good to effect human emotion. Do we need a computer to act like human as much as possible for human to communicate/ interact with the computers?
For Example, when an error occur should the computer say something polite/human-like replies to reduce the frustration of human? Some user prefer the old fashion way (error 404) but some user prefer a more human-like way (we are currently unable to log in this website, please be patience). There are a lot of question of installing human-like emotion to the computer, example, apologize, persuasion and lots more.
Anthropomorphism is any attribution of human characteristics (or characteristics assumed to belong only to humans) to animals, non-living things, phenomena, material states, objects or abstract concepts, such as spirits or deities. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphism] Example, when a student gets 10/10 from his/her quiz, the system will congrats him/her with "Well done, you just got a 100% full marks wonderful work" as praise. This phenomenon will effect will effect the student future work and this give the student a motivation. This phenomenon called Anthropomorphism.
In conclusion, this problem still occurring now, some people prefer the old fashion way and some want the computer to act like human, which it will reduce the stress of an individual.
