7th class

Last week we had midterm exam. So we no class.This week our class study human-computer interaction.

*Outline for thiss week.-key point that has implications for the aesthetic, ethics and evaluation of human-computer interaction
-history of HCI from a tools perspective-conversational models of the interface: the intersection of AI and HCI-question for today: what problem does Weizenbaum’s ELIZA system address or solve?
-the answer of AI-the answer of Ethnomethodology

* Key point-People often interact with media technologies as though the technologies were people.
-I think computer is close to human. because people almost have computer and we use internet to search many data.(news, e-mail, blog, cafe ,etc.) Now computer is essentiality thing.

*related points: ethics-questions of ethics and “others” *should we treat technologies as people or people as technologies?
- I think to exist both two face. First technologies as people is people to toxic internet. So make internet addict.
- people as technologies is people make graphic media, movie , advertisement etc.

*history of HCI (from a tool-building perspective)
- we saw moving picture. I feel science technologies to develop extravagantly, surprise and unbelievable.

* ethnomethodology: a definition
-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" (1967).

this week we study human-computer interaction. I feel technology is so many develop. And When we saw moving picture,I'm amazing to science technology. Our class is interesting. I don't know many things to understand, learn. next week we study computer-aid. I don't know computer-aid. I will learn many things to this class.

6th class

We are study artificial intelligence.
we deal with two subject.
One is artificial intelligence: the founding documentthe other is a short history of artificial intelligence in software.

*Artificail intelligence :the founding document divide into who was Turing? what is he famous for?and a reading of Turing’s article “computing machinery and intelligence” in which the following is highlighted:
- Alan turing was Founder of computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematician, philosopher, codebreaker, and a gay man.
Turing develop“The new form of the problem can be described in terms of a game.

* artificial intelligence: a definition
-“... artificial intelligence [AI] is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence [as] if done by [humans]” Marvin Minsky, 1963
-I think artificial intelligence is more conveniently for human life. But invention of artificial intelligence robot bring about lazy people.

* artificial intelligence: research areas
- Knowledge Representation, Programming Languages , Natural Language (e.g., Story) uderstanding , speech Understanding, Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning , Planning , etc.


this class I learn artificial intelligence. artificial intelligence is very useful and convenience.
but we guard to addict with aritificial intelligence machine.
class is so difficult but a little surprise. because I learn new things.

5th class

This week our class discuss about social networks.
Our class key points is two point.
one is New media technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate people.Other key point is (BUT) When new media technologies facilitate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and economic relationships.
For example Internet is help our life.
Internet through see the world news, call up the e-mail andtalk with friend through network messanger.So, Our life is so comfortable.
But,this is big problem people fall into individualism.


※outline for this week
*social networks as science
-field:social network analysis is an interdisciplinary social science, but has been of especial concern to sociologists;
- I think social networks as science is relation our life. because of our homework is through the
computer, we can use the Internet,etc.
*social networks as technology -email, newsgroups, and weblogs -in the design of the arpanet (the forerunner to the internet) email was an afterthought!
*social networks as popular culture
*social networks as art


This week class was easy for technology study.I think the contents is so excite.but I don't understand something. I work hard better than another class. next week we will learn artificial intelligence. artificial intelligence is so excite any other subject.
