First of all, we looked movie which is modern times by charlie chaplin.
That movie is very fun.
* What's the CSCW?
-> computer-supported cooperative work.
CSCW is a field of research and design.(ex: CAD/CAM, ABB Powerwall, Drug Design)
* Winograd and Flores present a methodology for CSCW analysis and design. This methodology is commonly known as the “language/action” perspective.
Winograd and Flores are model of conversation.
For example, conversations are sequences of actions because by saying things people are understood to be doing things.
*We also learned about this key point.
Recalling ->
Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.
*Key point in this lecture.
1. Every digital media technology has an architecture that can be used to transform work, play and governance.
Examples :
1) Keypoint (from earlier in the course): People make media and then media make people.
2) Larry Lessig on digital and legal codes and on the legal implications of the architecture of cyberspace.
3) Oscar Gandy on the “panoptic sort” and the panoptic architecture of cyberspace
(we will read Lessig and Gandy later in the course).
*Physical architecture and digital architecture
For instance, The Social Logic of Space(1990) by Bill Hillier and Julienne Hanson.
This book presents a general theory of physical architecture influences social relationships.
*What is the architecture of cyberspace?
->Consider the hardware and software that links together (or separates) groups of people.
*Also, we learn about Agre’s “surveillance model”.
-visual metaphors.
-assumption that watching is non-disruptive.
-territorial metaphors as in the “invasion of private space”.
-centralized orchestration by means of a bureaucracy with a unified set of files.
-dentification with the state and malevolent aims of a specifically political nature.
*The panopticon.
-Panopticon developed by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century for prison.
-Similar designs adapted for hospitals and factories.
-In the 18th century prisons and hospitals known, in France, collectively as “environments of humanity”.
*Five stage cycle of grammars of action
1) analysis
2) articulation
3) imposition
4) instrumentation
5) elaboration
I wonder panopticon. Panopticon is convinience life. In Korea, one vilage is changed to panopticon. haha...I want this....

*Key point -> People often interact with media technologies as though the technologies were people.
Question!
*Ethics.
1. Should we treat technologies as people or people as technologies?
2. Should we only treat others who are like us with care and respect? or, should we also extend our care and respect to others who are radically different?
3. what makes believe someone or something is alive, thinking, or simply the same as us?
*Aesthetics & Teleology.
1. Do objects, technologies and natural phenomena have goals and intentions?
2. Or, do they just look like they have goals and intentions?
*Design.
-If we view objects, technologies and natural phenomenon as if they do, in fact, have goals and intentions, then we will design like an artificial intelligence researcher.
-On the other hand, if we view objects, technologies and natural phenomenon as if the just look like they have goals and intentions, then we will design like a tool builder for human “users” or “operators” of our tools.
*Ethnomethodology
-Ethnomethodology simply means the study of the ways in which people make sense of their social world.
-Ethnomethodology is a fairly recent sociological perspective, founded by the American sociologist Harold Garfinkel in the early 1960s. The main ideas behind it are set out in his book "Studies in Ethnomethodology"
I agreed key point. People live in media world. We are dependent on media. For example, korean has not live except cell phone and internet. Me too.!!! So sad..

5th sum..
*Who is Alan Turing?
-> Founder of computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematician, philosopher, codebreaker, and a gay man.
Also, we see that game of alan's making. The game name is imitation game. This game is played with three people, a man, a woman, and an interrogator who may be of either sex.
The interrogator stays in a room apart from the other two.
The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man and which is the woman.
*A.I's definition -> Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence as if done by humans.
*A.I's research areas ->
1.Knowledge Representation
2.Programming Languages
3.Natural Language (e.g., Story) Understanding
4.Speech Understanding
5.Vision
6.Robotics
7.Machine Learning
8.Planning
*GPS -> GPS is what is known in AI as a “planner.”
To work, GPS required that a full and accurate model of the “state of the world”.
*FRUMP -> Fast Reading Understanding and Memory Program.
*ELIZA -> A Computer Program for the Study of Natural Language Communication between Man and Machine.
I don't understand about imitation game. This game is very complex. But, I think that imitation game is very funny game. And, I'm sad. Because of Alan turing. He is genius of media, science, and so on. But, he is died on the early. If he is live, today sciencific technology would have more and more growth.

*We are learning about media technology until now.
In summarize, There are 5 key points in media.
1. When technologies connect or separate people, they become media.
2. Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and
relationships.
3. When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media.
4. New media do not replace old media, they displace them.
5. People make media and then media make people.
*In this class, There are 2 key points.
1. New media technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate people.
2. When new media technologies facilitate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and economic relationships.
*In social network, There are many kinds of network. For example, as science, as technology, as popular culture, as art, etc...
First, In social network as science, There are many many things. Field, Definition, History, Equivalence, Centrality, Bridges, Social capital, Bowling alone. These kinds of social network are to do with relation. Many people lived in the complecated world.
Second, In social network as technology, we are living in convenience world because of technological development. For instance, email, weblogs, and search engine ... This is a very convenience.
Third, In social network as art, many things of art arrange in a row. I have not a imagination in
former times. Complex or Elaborate, this is very nice.

*First of all, There are 4 key points in the lecture of this week.
1. When technologies connect or separate people, they become media.
2. Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.
3. When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media.
4. New media do not replace old media, they displace them.
Also, In this class, the most important key point is 'People make media and then media make people'.
*The word 'World Wide Web' is abbrebiated to 'WWW'. WWW is standard. Why ? Here are example. For example, language is standard. Without language, we are not communication. Likewise, WWW is necessary for internet. In this class, a definition of the word 'WWW' is ...
1. A collaboratively authored hypertext.
2. It is a standard.
3. The www is a vast, heterogeneous network of people and machines.
*And we learned about this : ISO, IETF, RFC, ETC...
Firstly, ISO is a network of national standards institutes from 145 countries working in partnership with international organizations, governments, industry, business and consumer representatives.
Secondly, The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.
Thirdly, each distinct version of an Internet standards-related specification is published as part of the "Request for Comments" (RFC) document series. This archival series is the official publication channel for Internet standards documents and Internet community.
Also, W3C means world-wide web consortium. This is develops web standards and guidelines.
HTTP is an internet protocol designed for transferring information for hypertext documents.
*In succession, we looked about products of Nam Jun - Baik. He is a pioneer of video art. I feel like exciting. Because his products are very surprised. I don't think about this a present. He is very smart. He passed away 2 ears ago, but he remains in every people memories.

In short...
* There are two matters of consequence to last lecture.
1. When technologies connect or separate people, they become media.
2. Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.
* What does “digital media” mean?
I think that "digital media" is a useful things. We live to very convinience life by "digital media". For example, TV, Internet, Cell Phone, etc...This is a sort of digital media.
Suppose that These things have no place in the world....Be terrible life !!!
* There are two matters of consequence to this lecture.
1. When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media.
2. New media do not replace old media, they displace them.
Also, focus of this lecture is ' Hypertext '.
'Hypertext' is One way that digital media has been understood is as new forms of writing, reading and thinking.
And we learned to Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem. Place them in order following...
1. Take a newspaper.
2. Take a pair of scissors.
3. Choose an article as long as you are planning to make your poem.
4. Cut out the article.
5. Then cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them in a bag.
6. Shake it gently.
7. Then take out the scraps one after the other in the order in which they left the bag.
8. Copy conscientiously.
After a process of manufacture, He makes a media so-called 'Cut-ups'.
Finally, we learned about engelbart. He is a famous revolutionist.If he is out of existence, then we are so inconvenienced. Because He invented a basis of a present computer. He invented mouse, e-mail, 2d display editing, etc... we thanks to Engelbart.

정보기술개론 첫번째 과제.
We learned about 'media technology' and three people
who has contributed to development of 'media technology' in this week.
First of all, 'media technology' has two key points.
1. When digital media technologies connect or separate people, they become media.
2. Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical
ideas and relationships. The car and egg are example for this.
Also, we learned about 'computer technology'.
computer technology does not necessarily start as silicon and gold and need to be implemented as hardware or software.
Second, There are three people who help to growth of 'media technology'.
One of these was george boole who was inventor of Boolean algebra, which is the basis of all modern computer arithmetic.
Another person is charles babbage. He originated the idea of a programmable computer.
Last person is vannevar bush. He is MIT professor and inventor of 'differential analyzer'. By the way, an instrument,MEMEX,was based on bush's work. We are find for document to easy because of MEMEX.
In my opinion, we caused so comfortable by the advance of technology.
However, we are lost load because of the changes happening at too fast pace.
I hope that regulate the pace to advance of technology.
And I think that my English ability is very very very low. So I do not understand to this lecture. But I become higher to my English ability. Thank you for your lecture.
