1. Reflect on different interactions with technologies that you have observed in your daily life. Pick a few of these and write down your own definition of interaction based on your observations.

In my opinion, interaction is a mutual relationship; that is to say the activator is also a responder, and a responder is also an activator. For example, when the acoustic control light detects sound, it would blink. When the noise disappears, the acoustic light just turns off. Another example is that sensor faucet. When the infrared sensor detects the hand, the water runs out; when the hand finished washing, the sensor faucet stops letting water out.      

2. During the assembly of the circuits, we used many electronic components as inputs and outputs. Which of these components do you recognize in the circuit?

Wire

Battery

LED

Resister

Voltmeter

Buzzer

 

 

3. Watch the video: Zach Lieberman: Interactive Art and write your thoughts on interaction and the future of technology.

In the past, people used to draw down their thoughts as art, but in the future, I think technology would somehow take over the traditional way people used to express thinking. Technology improves one’s efficiency in expressing. And also, I believe that all the great invention is come from small and dull experiences. From car to eye detector, this brings technology from interesting event to society contributor.
