2. Introduc)on
• How
do
we
interact
with
compu8ng
technology
as
we
move
towards
2020?
• Effects
on
human
values
in
the
face
of
change
• People
will
always
wish
to
be
part
of
families,
to
stay
connected
with
friends,
to
educate
their
children,
to
care
for
each
other
when
they
are
not
well,
and
to
get
older
safely
and
comfortably.
• Technology
is
mediator
for
all
of
these
things
rather
than
the
focus.
Then
developments
in
compu8ng
are
not
prior
issues
among
concerns
of
people.
3. The End of Interface Stability
• prolifera8on
of
ways
in
which
we
encounter
digital
technology
• explosive
diversifica8on
in
the
nature
of
these
devices
• set
of
interconnected
digital
devices
• embedded
within
us
• built
into
our
surrounding
environment
• no8on
of
an
interface
is
no
longer
easily
defined,
stable
or
fixed.
4. The End of Interface Stability
The shi9ing boundary between computers and humans
• The
boundary
between
us
and
machines
and
the
extent
which
it
is
visible
to
us
is
not
clear
• Moving
the
boundary
closer
to
us
• In8mate
• Embedded
• What
defines
an
individual,
and
whether
embedded
devices
are
part
of
that
defini8on?
• In8mate
devices
can
be
networked
and
therefore
can
interact
with
other
people
and
other
devices
• Causes
shiKs
in
what
we
perceive
as
personal
space,
and
what
is
shared.
No
recognizable
interface.
• Independence?
• Managing
and
controlling
dissolving
boundary
5. The End of Interface Stability
The shi9ing boundary between computers and the
everyday world
• boundary
between
computa8onal
technology
and
the
objects
and
surfaces
in
the
everyday
world
is
changing
• furniture,
rooms,
cars,
doors,
clothing,
packaging
• interac8on
between
digital
technologies
and
the
physical
objects
they
are
embedded
in
• familiar
objects
but
less
clear
• most
natural,
efficient
and
socially
accepted
means
of
controlling
such
interac8ons
should
be
inves8gated
• rela8onships
between
digital
devices
and
the
world
• Take
into
considera8on:
The
world
we
inhabit
and
the
products
we
use
in
our
world
are
associated
with
a
variety
of
personal,
social
and
cultural
values.
• A
church,
a
museum,
a
railway
sta8on
or
a
stadium
6. The End of Interface Stability
Living in a computa)onal ecosystem
• Computers
work
together
oKen
independently
of
human
involvement.
• Can
be
beneficial
or
harmful
• More
difficult
to
understand
how
they
work
• Banking
systems
allow
us
to
use
credit
cards
everywhere.
Unexpected
effects?
• Increasing
levels
of
complexity
affects
our
sense
of
safety
and
security
• Surprise
and
unpredictability
is
not
welcomed
in
most
cases.
• Should
be
in
a
form
people
can
make
sense
of
and
act
upon
• Make
the
workings
of
the
ecosystems
more
visible
and
understandable
for
people
who
are
part
of
it
• ability
to
rapidly
spread
informa8on
(or
disinforma8on)
globally
requires
new
forms
of
legisla8on.
7. The Growth of Techno-‐
Dependency
• Most
of
us
find
it
both
unusual
and
inconvenient
to
have
to
visit
a
bank
and
interact
with
a
human
teller
instead
of
ATM
in
order
to
withdraw
money
• Typewriter
instead
of
a
computer?
• only
to
think
about
them
when
they
are
unavailable
• Our
dependency
on
computer
technologies
will
increase
8. The Growth of Techno-‐Dependency
Living in an increasingly technology-‐reliant world
• Each
new
genera8on
takes
for
granted
a
new
set
of
technologies
in
addi8on
to
the
older
ones
they
have
become
dependent
on.
• Internet,
instant
availability,
mobile
phone,
TV
on
demand
• what
happens
when
the
Internet
or
electricity
goes
offline?
Are
we
addicted?
What
people
already
know
and
what
they
will
expect?
• Are
mental
arithme8c
skills
disappearing
(along
with
others)?
• The
more
we
depend
on
technologies
to
carry
out
or
mediate
our
everyday
ac8vi8es
the
more
we
will
need
to
trust
them
to
do
so.
• What
about
our
natural
curiosity?
• Loss
of
independence/self
reliance?
• Lack
of
understanding
about
how
the
world
works
• less
rewarding
world
to
live
in
9. The Growth of Techno-‐Dependency
Living with increasingly clever computers
• computer
systems
become
more
sophis8cated
and
independent
• make
choices
and
decisions
without
human
interven8on
• give
guidance
on
what
we
might
like
to
do
or
buy,
clean
our
floors
• how
we
should
live
with
them,
what
our
rela8onships
should
be?
• Giving
commands
or
more
human-‐human
conversa8ons?
• kinds
of
tasks
we
feel
happy
to
let
clever
computers
do?
• Let
children
to
go
school
with
driverless
car?
• Companions
for
elderly?
• Computers
are
not
confined
to
ma_ers
of
criminality
like
children.
Is
it
going
to
change?
10. The Growth of Hyper-‐Connec)vity
Living in a more socially connected world
• We
connect
more
with
people
over
grater
distances
and
8me
periods,
wherever
we
are
and
build
new
forms
of
rela8onships
• socially
accepted
conven8ons
and
e8que_e
in
new
rela8onships?
(Mailing
professor
in
slang
language?)
• isola8on
in
a
crowd
with
mobile
phones
• What
about
having
8me
for
independence?
• Being
members
of
online
communi8es
that
span
the
globe,
and
the
no8on
of
neighborhood
• Boundaries
between
the
office
and
home,
and
between
work
and
play
are
dissolving
11. The Growth of Hyper-‐Connec)vity
Being part of a digital crowd
• we
an8cipate
receiving
no8fica8on
of
world
events
immediately
• our
ac8ons
and
ac8vi8es
have
global
influence
• can
be
used
for
organizing
protests,
taking
mass
ac8on,
behind
a
cause
• can
be
used
to
stalk
celebri8es,
spread
misinforma8on,
and
provoke
civil
unrest
• The
values
of
community
and
shared
iden8ty
lie
at
the
core
of
a
sense
of
the
digital
crowd
• What
about
shared
digital
means?
• voice
of
the
digital
crowd
reflects
a
real
reac8on
or
overreac8on.
12. The End of the Ephemeral
Managing expanding digital footprints
• started
to
challenge
the
prevailing
views
of
privacy
and
ethics.
• protec8on
rights
we
desire
over
our
own
and
other’s
personal
data
• new
forms
of
authen8ca8on,
personal
iden8fica8on
• Memories
tend
to
fade
over
8me
and
change
through
interpreta8on.
• Digital
records
are
more
sta8c,
tending
to
persist
in
a
stable
form.
• According
to
many
systems,
the
more
data
we
capture
the
be_er.
They
are
merciless
about
forgebng
memories.
• Humans
are
selec8ve
in
what
they
remember
• What
do
you
think
the
control
over
our
digital
records
will
be
in
future?
13. The End of the Ephemeral
Living in an increasingly monitored world
• Governments,
ins8tu8ons
have
more
access
to
both
real
8me
and
archived
data
of
our
ac8vi8es
• CCTV
cameras,
mobese
• ins8tu8ons
can
monitor,
capture,
and
analyze
the
behavior
of
clients
or
customer
base
• Level
of
awareness
people
have
when
being
monitored
by
technology
and
if
it
affects
them
is
an
issue
• who
has
access
to
it?
• Abusing
the
asymmetry
of
observer
and
the
one
being
observed
is
dangerous.
• It
can
be
beneficial
too,
for
keeping
track
of
children's
loca8on,
keeping
the
public
places
secure…
• General
acceptance
of
society
will
determine
the
world
we
inhabit
in
2020
14. The Growth of Crea)ve Engagement
Augmen)ng human reasoning
• Computers
leading
to
new
forms
of
research
• augment
human
reasoning
and
problem-‐solving
skills
in
a
way
that
empowers
scien8sts’
and
others’
ability
to
understand,
solve
problems.
• are
automated
increasing
tools
that
index,
search
and
sort
will
replace
humans
en8rely
in
research
process?
Or
to
what
extent?
• Are
those
results
will
be
meaningful
for
humans?
How?
• Will
the
augmenta8on
of
human
abili8es
maintain
the
desire
of
people
to
inves8gate
and
produce?
15. The Growth of Crea)ve Engagement
New forms of crea)ve engagement
• Digital
representa8ons
and
physical
artefacts,
will
offer
new
ways
for
crea8ve
authoring,
designing,
learning,
thinking
and
playing.
• We
always
have
a
desire
to
express
ourselves,
pursue
new
ambi8ons
and
achieve
new
goals.
• How
to
ensure
do-‐it-‐yourself
and
other
similar
methods
will
result
good
design
that
empower
people
rather
than
undermining
them?
