Summary & Commant 6

It was first time after mid-term. We learned about Human-Computer interaction(HCI).
The key-point is that People often interact with media technologies as though the technologies were people. We learned a history of HICI as tools. There are many things we have learned before. So it was very familiar to me.
And it was very interesting that Movingsketch. It looks like Haptic;cellure phone made by samsaung. As we touch it , it moves to the direction we touch. So I was very interested. That was really interaction between human and computer.
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".
HCI is very diverstiy I think. And it is very exciting and important part. But it was difficult to me. But it is the part that I really want to know more.

Summary

We learned about "Artificial Intelligence" this week. And we saw a part of movie whose title is A.I. A.I means Artificial Intelligence.
Alan turing is Founder of computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematician, philosopher, codebreaker, and a gay man. But he died early.
Turing’s “imitation game” . It 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.
planning as a technical problem.... GPS is a computer program for theorems proof, geometric problems and chess playing. We can see HanoiTower also.

Commant

I saw AI many times. It is one of my favorite movie. Artificial Intelligence is very interesting. When I was young, I saw an animation made by Japanese. It was about artificial intelligence racer car. It was very fresh to me at that time. Maybe that's the reason that I became interested in artificial intelligence.
Next week, we have mid-term. I'm so so so worried about it... and a little nervous..

Summay

This week, we learned about social networks. This week, we have lots of relationship map and friendster. There is an example of them. It is using CYWORLD. Someone draws relation map by analyzing cyworld users' relationship.

We specify social networks as science,technology,popular culture,and art.

- social networks as science:
field,definition,history,equivalence,centrality,bridges,social capital,
bowling alone.

Definition : It is just definition. It can be changed!.
History : There are many relation map.
Equivalence : If A and B is structurally equivalent, they have equivalent
positions in the network.
Centrality : center position in the network.
Bridges : like a bridge between boy and girl !
Social capital : bridging capital - Connecting separate networks.
bonding capital - Being central to a network.
Bowling alone : united states citizens no longer know or trust their eighbors
and thus communities have lost their social capital. It is so sad.

- social networks as technology : email, newsgroups, and weblogs / search engines.
- social networks as popular culture : Kevin bacon - bacon number.
- social networks as art : Relation map looks like a work of art!!

This lecture is very interesting. There are many relation maps also!
They are fun to me. And it looks like an art!!. I think that I understood this lecture most than ever before. But not 100% ... I get better more and more.

Summary & Commant 3

Outline for this week is two things.
One is "the web as a technology" and the other is "the web as an art form".

-the web as a technology

tim berners-lee made WWW(World Wide Web). WWW is a collaboratively authored hypertext ,
a standard and a vast, heterogeneous network of people and machines.

WWW is related with many organizations;iso,ietf,rfc,w3c.
iso: international standards organization
ietf: internet engineering task force
rfc: request for comments
w3c: world-wide web consortium

uri: universal resource identifier
html: hypertext markup language
http: hypertext transfer protocol

-the web as an art form

lisa jevbratt,mark napier and rsg collective are related with art.

Commant

This week was difficult for me,too. I feel I have to study more than ever.
I think Web is really interesting and there are so many things we don't know.
But I really wanna know !! The Internet world is very connected with many things.
Thanks to the Internet, we can live more comfortable life and more speedy life.

Summary

We learned about Hypertext ,Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem , Engelbart , H-LAM/T system in this week.

I think Hypertext is like Link; we heard it more often than Hypertext in our daily life. So we can go quickly and directly from one to another.

Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem uses an article in newspaper. It is the poem where the letter has become the union with random.

Engelbart invented so many things!!
the mouse, 2d display editing, hypermedia & hypermedia email ... etc.

H-LAM/T system has two separate domains of activity.
by the system & by the artifacts.

Commant

I think Engelbart invented very important tool. It is the mouse. we always use it when we use computer. I can't imagine the world we don't have the mouse.
Hypertext is very familiar to me. I just think it is just Link and Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem , H-LAM/T system are strange to me. It is hard to understand them.
because I didn't hear them before.
I think this class learns about history of computer . And I have wanted to learn about history of computer . But um.... a little difficult for me...

Summary & Commant 1

We read two writings this week.

One is "welcome to the present" and the other is "As we may thnik" by Vannevar bush .

The present at "welcome to the present" means now around us but actually it means our own reality; far from real world.

It mentions technology.

And "As we may think" ......

It was so difficult for me to read but I try to understand it.

Vannevar bush wrote this article.

He talks about Memex and microfilm selector.

I have not heard them before so it was strange to me.

Memex was based on Bush's work.

We can surf Internet now partly because of Memex.

It was so amazing that he wrote the article in 1945 and we still read and learn it !!

Microfilm selector was seen at movies.

They,Memex and microfilm selector, are really brilliant thoughts and a big part in history of technology.



I write this Summary & Commant first time. It was very difficult for me but I feel interesting.

I didn't well because it was first time but I will be better as time goes by !!

I like this class and I will study very hard because I want to understand this class so that I explain my friends.
