human


Media is extensions or prostheses of human faculty

We understanded meaning of extension and prostheses at Following sentence or movie.

The wheel is an extension of the foot...
the book is an extension of the eye... clothing,
an extension of the skin...”

movie : six million dollar man


New media serve as "extensions" to ourselves and, simultaneously, they "amputate" various capacities of subjectivity.

To understand meaning of amputation, Following sentence can be good example.
When we push computer keyboard, We are amputated handwriting skill


background: questions of identity

gender: who is a woman? who is a man?
race: who is black? who is white?
sexuality: who is straight? who is gay?
class: who is rich? who is poor?

are these categories “natural”? are they determined by “nature”?

No, Because people make those thing.

definition of cyborg

Cyborg is not robot. We understand meaning of cyborg easily. at "six million dollar man" , "Ghost In The Shell"

A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction

I think We are cyborg . because We wear glasses,lense,mp3 player,mobile-phone.

We studied Ethnomethodology. It was very important.

Ethnomethodology is the study of how people make sense of the social world

We studied two perspective , Ethnomethodology and AI perspective.

-the Ethnomethodological perspective
•recall Johnstone’s story generation game:
–the story does not exist before the interaction;
–if a story emerges, it emerges from the question and answer interaction.

-the AI perspective
•recall Meehan’s talespin program:
–the story is planned out from a set of predefined rules

We saw Modern times by Charlie Chaplin . I saw it at middle school. thus It is boring


CSCW( computer-supported cooperative work) is a field of research and design.

ex: (CAD/CAM, ABB Powerwall, Drug Design)

I'm interested in history of surveillance: the panopticon

Panopticon is fantastic building for human to monitor prisoner

Surveillance is important. . but excessive Surveillance deprives person of liberty

thus . It needs harmony.
