last week, we had mid-term test. and today we learned many things.the key point is People often interact with media technologies as though the technologies were people.related point is ethics, aesthetics , teleology and design.And we learned about the history of HCI.history of HCI as tools: people- for example, as we know, Vannevar Bush's memex. and Doug Engelbart's mouse, GUI, word processing, etc.
learn to link them tightly with this thing called "the real", to think of them as unbreakable and natural linksto an absolute experience of physical phenomena.When digital media technologies connect or separate people, they become media.Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.Method that generate a useful critique of this moment is raised within that mighty architecture and so steeped in it that not only is it invisivle but we view with deep suspicion or outright derision ways of circumventing or fracturing its hegemony.Cyberspace doesn't turn out to be merely a distraction, an enery drain that turns our focus away from deeper changes in the working of capital, information and thought.The simple point of all this is that it's up to us. We can pay attention or allow ourseelves to be distracted.Questions about whether cyberculture will be individually, is willing to contribute.

This week's important person is Alen Turing.He is a founder of computer science and artificial intelligence.And He is a codebreaker. Codebreaker means deciphering cryptograph.He is a made first computer. (Not ENIAC) but it's a military secret. So He is't known to people.
third is Artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence as if done by humans.artificial intelligence: research areas are Knowledge Representation,ProgrammingLanguages,Natural Language (e.g., Story) Understanding ,Speech Understanding,Vision,Robotics ,Machine, Learning and Planning GPS is what is known in AI as a “planner.” (not global positioning system!!! it is a computer program for theorems proof, geometric problems and chess playing Newell, Alan, Shaw, J. C., and Simon, Herbert A. “GPS, A Program That Simulates Human Thought.” In Computers and Thought, ed. Edward A. Feigenbaum and Julian Feldman. pp. 279-293. New York, 1963 .To work, GPS required that a full and accurate model of the “state of the world” (i.e., insofar as one can even talk of a “world” of logic or cryptoarthimetic, two of the domains in which GPS solved problems) be encoded and then updated after any action was taken (e.g., after a step was added to the proof of a theorem).

This week key point is
- When technologies connect or separate people, they become media.
- Technologies embody social, political, cultural, ecinomic and philoshical ideas and relationships.
-When a medium is new, it is often used to simnlatr old madia.
-New media do not replace old madia, they displace thwm.
-people make madia then madis make people.
→New madia technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate people.
→When new media technologies faciliate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and econonmic relationships.
#Social networks as science : field
-social network analysis is an interdisclinary social science, but has been of especial concern to sociologists
-rexently, physicists and mathematicians have made large contributions to undwrstanding networks in general (as graphs) and thus contibutend to an understanding of social networks too.
#Social networks as science : defiinition
[Social network analysis] is grounded in the observation that social actors [i.e., people] are interdependent and that the links [i.e., people] among them have imporant consequences for every individual [and for all of the important consequences for every individual [and for all of the individuals togeter]
[Relationships] provide individuals with opportunities and, at the same time, potential constraints on their behavior
Social network analysis involves theorizing, model building and empirical reserch focused on uncovering the patterning of among actors. It is concerned also with uncovering the antecedents and conseqnces of recurrent patterns.
#Social networks as science : history
-Stanley Milgram (1967) "The Small World Problem," psychology Today Milgram sent 60 letters to variouits in Wichita, Kansas who Were asked to forward the letter to the wife of a divinty student living at a specified location in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The participants could only pass the letters (by hans) to personal acquaintances who they thought might be able to reach the target - whether directly or via a " friend of a frind". : "six-degrees of separation"
#Social networks as science : equivalence
A and B are "structurally equivalent" because they connect to the same people and thus people and thus have equivalent positions in the network
#Social networks as science : soccial capital
-if you connect separate networks you have bridging capital ("the guy")
-if you are central to a network you have bonding capital ("diane")
#Social networks as science : bowling alone
-sociologist robert putnam claims that united states citizens nolonger know or trust their neighbors and thus communities have lost their social capital
-recall today's key points
+ new madis technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate peopls.
+ When new media tehno;ogies facilitate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and econcmic relationships
#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
-socal software; e.g., friendster, orkut, tribe, cyworld etc.
-recall the article by danah boyd: what happens to social networks when they are explicitly declared? - "[danch] emphasiz [s] how users have repurposed the technology to present their identity and connect in personally meaningful ways while the architect works to define and regulate acceptable models of use."
-to understand "artificial" social networks we need to rethink the social scientific concepts of "equivalence,""centrality," even " node"and "link."

ISO: international standards organizationISO is a network of national standards institutes from 145 countries working in partnership with international organizations, governments, industry, business and consumer representatives. It acts as a bridge between public and private sector. It has created over 12,000 standards.ISO standards are developed according to the following principles:Consensus: The views of all interests are taken into account: manufacturers, vendors and users, consumer groups, testing laboratories, governments, engineering professions and research organizations.Industry-wide: Global solutions to satisfy industries and customers worldwide.Voluntary: International standardization is market-driven and therefore based on voluntary involvement of all interests in the market-place.[from the ISO website www.iso.ch ]IETF: internet engineering task forceThe 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. It is open to any interested individual.The actual technical work of the IETF is done in its working groups, which are organized by topic into several areas (e.g., routing, transport, security, etc.). Much of the work is handled via mailing lists. The IETF holds meetings three times per year. [ http://www.ietf.org/ ]RFC: request for commentsEach 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. RFCs can be obtained from a number of Internet hosts using anonymous FTP, gopher, World Wide Web, and other Internet document-retrieval systems [e.g., www.ietf.org/rfc]. The RFC series of documents on networking began in 1969 as part of the original ARPA wide-area networking (ARPANET) project.Some RFCs document Internet Standards. These RFCs form the 'STD’ subseries of the RFC series. When a specification has been adopted as an Internet Standard, it is given the additional label "STDxxx", but it keeps its RFC number and its place in the RFC series. Some RFCs standardize the results of community deliberations about statements of principle or conclusions about what is the best way to perform some operations or IETF process function. These RFCs form the specification has been adopted as a BCP, it is given the additional label "BCPxxx", but it keeps its RFC number and its place in the RFC series.Not all specifications of protocols or services for the Internet should or will become Internet Standards or BCPs. Such non-standards track specifications are not subject to the rules for Internet standardization. Non-standards track specifications may be published directly as "Experimental" or "Informational" RFCs at the discretion of the RFC Editorw3c: world-wide web consortiumDevelops web standards and guidelines

key points
When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media.
New media do not replace old media, they displace them.
- both of these points are paraphrases of ideas from Marshall McLuhan's book Understanding Media.
today's focus
Hypertext: One way that digital media has been understood is as new forms of writing, reading and thinking.
Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem
To make a dadaist poem:
- Take a newspaper.
- Take a pair of scissors.
- Choose an article as long as you are planning to make your poem.
- Cut out the article.
- Then cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them in a bag.
- Shake it gently.
- Then take out the scraps one after the other in the order in which they left the bag.
- Copy conscientiously.
engelbart: what is reading?
reading as rendering and restructuring: "...after a few passes through a reference, we very rarely go back to it in its original form. It sits in the archive like an orange rind with most of the real juice squeezed out." [p. 108]
engelbart: what is writing?
writing as thought/symbol (re)structuring: see, for instance, p. 101: "It became apparent that the final issuance from my work, the memo itself, would represent but one facet of a complex symbol structure that would grow as the work progressed
