Privacy: a culturally specific definition


•Does the U.S. Bill of Rights define an individual’s “right to privacy”?
•Not explicitly, but...
–inferrably: e.g., Amendment IV: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Cookies


•cookies are information that a web server stores on the machine running a web browser

–try clearing all of the cookies in your web browser and the visit web sites that you have been.


Types of data mining


•descriptive: compute a relatively concise, description of a large data set
•predictive: predict unknown values for a variable for one or more known variables


This week's lesson is about surveillance and information leverage. I also learned a cookie.
Cookies did not know what it is, even though I saw the word was heard. Also, data mining learned ..etc...

Last time, I have not assignment. Very sorry.

At last time, I learned computer game.
•computer games: how do they work?
–how do they work “behind the screen”? i.e., how do they work from the perspective of an engineer?
•a simple example of pong
–how do they work “in front of the screen”? i.e., how do they work for the audience or participant?
•Sherry Turkle on computer games and processes of identification
•Henry Jenkins on computer games, gender and space


A definition of media studies

•media studies is the theory and practice of exploring how people and things are connected, reflected, extended, reconfigured, and separated by technologies and techniques
–media as mirrors
–media as machinations
–media as prostheses
•digital media studies is a kind of media studies that pays especial attention to the techniques and technologies of computers and computer networks .

At this lecture, I learned about cyborg and biopolitics.

•biopolitics: politics carried out through the means, the techniques and technologies of health and illness, statistics, the census, epidemiology and demography, the science of race, eugenics, population, abortion, genomics, and new reproductive technologies.
[see paul rabinow and nikolas rose, the essential foucault (2003)]
•biopolitics was a term coined by the philosopher Michel Foucault
•the categories of biopolitics might be called “natural” but are negotiated through science, culture and technology .

Definition of cyborg

“A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. ... By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs.”

What’s a MUD

•MUD stands for multi-user domain
•MOO stands for MUD, object-oriented (referring to a particular way in which the MUD is programmed using an object-oriented language).

This week's lecture was carelessful.
Next time it hard to concentrate on classroom time listening.

Computer-Aid
- The surveillance modelcf. Surveillance camera. It has positive side and also have negative side.Positive side : Camera decrease the crime rate because they watching by someone.Negative side : Camera infringe privacy!
- CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work)It is field of research and design.- CAD (Computer Aid Design)Computer work automatic! It decrease work time.You have to do just drawing. Computer is automatically assume the default value!- CAM (Computer Aid Manufacture)Explain not needed :)
We reall the key point this class : Technology embody social, political, cultural, economical, philosophical things.
- Every Architecture has purpose. (cf. In millitary, commander located deep side of building. And in professor room, professor didn't want interference by other and want more connectable to student. So, their room located by that reason.
- We saw game Second-Life. And we see architecture of cyberspace.- PanopticonDeveloped by Jeremy Bentham. Purpose prison. Every layer connected to cell and center tower can watch all cell.This algorithm also adapt hospital and factory.
This week's lecture is very difficult. The content is very difficult. By the way , more and more guess . I expect the next lecture.

Until last week learned artificial intelligence. AI's main is imitation game.
This week' s theme is HCI.
HCI is related many area. Ethics,aesthetics, teleology ,and design.
If we view objects, technologies and natural phenomenon as if they do, in fact, have goals and intentions, then we will design like an artificial intelligence researcher.
History of HCI as tools :people
people:
–Vannevar Bush: memex
–J.C.R. Licklider: computer networking, agents
–Ivan Sutherland: sketchpad
–Doug Engelbart: mouse, GUI, word processing, etc.
–Ted Nelson: hypertext
–Alan Kay: object-oriented programming, laptops, ...
Also, many funded.
What problem does Weizenbaum’s ELIZA system address or solve?
–the ethnomethodology answer: it is taken to be a like a person in a conversation and thus simply works like most other technologies in a social situation

In this week, I saw many 동영상. It is very amusement. Snake move, finger moved etc.
More and more , I think this lecture interesting.

This week's theme was 'Artificial Intelligence'.
Artificial's key person is Alan turing. Turing was invented the game. The game's name is 'imitation game'.This is odd game. This game make a good guess about gender.
About the 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.
Artificial intelligence's definition is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by humans. That research areas are knowledge representation,programming languages,natural language understanding,speech understanding,vision,robotics,machine learning,planning etc. very wide. very interesting field.
GPS is what is known in AI as a "planner". It is a computer program of theorems proof,geometric problems and chess playing. To work GPS required that a full and accurate model of the "State of th world"be encoded and then updated after any action was taken.
This week was one lecture.Because of election. This week's key point was artifial intelligence. The field is interesting. Every lecture were learned interesting event. So this lecture throb me.
Also, this week's lecture.

In this week learned social networks.
This week's key point is two.
Fist, new media technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate people.
Second, when new media technologies facilitate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and economic relationships.
Recently, social network analysis is an interdisciplinary social science, but has been of especial concern to sociologists.
Social network analysis involves theorizing, model building and empirical research focused on uncovering the patterning of links among actors. It is concerned also with uncovering the antecedents and consequences of recurrent patterns.
And we saw social networks' history.
Social networks spread email,newsgroups, and weblogs.Also, we circumference.
For example, kevin bacon was made bacon numbers.
Bacon number is that I and he/she's relation.
This week's lecture was socialistic.
Sometimes we were curious socialistic relation. Bacon etc...(these were investigation) is very curious people. Every lecture was introduced intering people. So good.

This week's　topic is "People make media and then media make people"
At this week is learned ISO, IETF, RFC, url, html, and http .
ISO is international standard organization.
ISO 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.
IETF is internet engineering task force.
The 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.
RFC is request for comments.
Each 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. This is good method.
URL is... the web was changing faster than the database was updated and in 2001 it was clear that the database was outdated.
persistent location.
Http is an internet protocol designed for transferring information for hypertext documents.
In addition to we saw nam jun Back's media. The media is uncommon.
Very breakable. Back is challenge man.
This week lesson is interesting. I was seen many surprising media.
