Computers And New Media Assignment 1 Part II: A List of Media That I Use Every Week
Computers and New Media - Assignment 1 Part I -- Why Am I Taking This Class?
It started out as a seemingly innocent network of computers in the early 1990's, a time when I marveled at the sight of my friend typing real-time on my computer screen at Ohio University. While he was in at Cal Poly. I marveled at that wonderful program called Mosaic that displayed some information about important organizations or important people. They were Important. After all, I could read about them. And learn about them while I was at school. I started my undergrad in computer science in 1992. The year before that, I only learned about important and famous people in printed materials, on television, maybe radio.
My, how things changed in just twenty years. About the same time, Don Norman, in his famous book The Design of Everyday Things, mentioned about a homework he gave to his students in one of the courses he taught - how would you design a product that combines AM-FM radio, Cassette player, CD players, Telephone, Telephone answering machine, Clock, Alarm clock (the alarm can turn on a tone, radio, cassette, or CD), Desk or bed lamp)? Seriously, what kind of a design could I have come up with during that time? Would I have thought that the paradigm of everything I knew about delivering music and phone messages would be close to what we have them now?
I took this class because I want to find out the path that we took from two decades ago to the present. I would like to find out if a necessity for a new type of system could be predicted. I would like to find out if there was a vision for this new media. Or did we just get lucky that all the different pieces of the puzzle simply fell in the right places?
