In the article by Weiser I like how there was a notion that even though one knows how to use a computer for their everyday use they have a very minimal idea of how to computer itself works. The talk about the monks making ink or firing clay is a great example of how these people had to literally make their technology from natural resources. In today’s society there seems to be a disconnect between the technologies we use and how these technologies work for us. I personally like to know as much as I can about certain technologies that I own as possible. This doesn’t mean I can build one from raw materials but I feel that I understand basically how the technologies I use function.I completely support the notion that what we learn well we cease to be aware of, I would just change a couple words and say we cease to be amazed by it. I mean we all know how to use our cell phones and we are all aware that they are there we just are not really amazed that we know how to use them.  I enjoyed how they were talking about virtual reality and how it focuses us on a simulated world instead of  having us focus on the world right in front of us.

At the bottom of the second page Dunne writes “Writing on electronic art might seem a good source of ideas on the electronic object, but, surprisingly, electronic art has become so technology-driven that it seems concerned only with the aesthetic expression of technology for its own sake” Which says to me the designers are more interested in making something that looks good in the house rather than something that functions better or is actually what people need.
