- Human-computer relationships seem to be based on the idea of “control.” How much control do we have in our relationships with computers presently? In terms of the shifting agencies from interactivity to automation to interpassivity, how much control are we willing to give up, or allow to be automated, and how much would we rather not have any control of at all?
- When I think of a “Conversing” relationship I think of a conversation and how both (or more) participants are completely autonomous but react to and affect the other by means of their communication. It seems like the most “human” relationship. This reminds me of artificial intelligence which seeks to simulate human-to-human interaction. As we continue to seek more human-like interactions with computers, what will happen to our interactions with other humans?
- What does Paul Dourish mean by “embodied interaction” and what does this mean for user interfaces of technologies?
