6th sum...

This week's key point that has implications for the aesthetic, ethics and evaluation of human-computer interaction.

*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..
