Seminar 2 March 14th -Reading
Men, machines and the world about

Human computer interaction

Norbett was saying that we are involved in the world, we aren’t separate from it. Because we live in this world and are connected to the world we have to be careful because we can have effect on it. (The butterfly effect)

Norbett also had this idea on Feed back. He talked about it in the way that it used to be used as just computer term, whereas now it is used among regular people. This shows how interconnected we have become with the computer.

Thinks both humans and computers process information in the same way they give feed back

Morris Vs Norbett.
Handicraft Vs computer
Morris argues that to gain quality of life we need to go back to the days where people used handicraft and were satisfied by the masterpieces they created. Some people would argue that that wouldn’t give us quality of life, that quality of life would involve spare time and leisure activities.
