S516-history and types of HCI
The two articles of 4th week varied from each other, even though they both talked about the history and different types of HIC.
Dourish’s article is more focus on the theoretical foundations. In this article I found the HCI theories go hand in hand with human cognitive process. There is a “dual-code model” in Cognitivism. According to the dual system view (Paivio, 1971, 1986, 1991) there are two systems of memory representation, one if for verbal information and the other for nonverbal information, which is images. This is similar like “graphical interaction”, because graphical interaction also opens two-dimensional space. One is traditional textual interaction (verbal information) and the other is graphical interaction(nonverbal information). Another part I am amazed is Grudin’s definition of interaction-“interaction should incorporate more and more users in the world today and social setting where users are embedded”. Even he proposed it decades ago, it still suitable for today’s HIC.
Miller and Johnson’s article used a true story to tell the development of HCI. I am intrigued by this story and each time I read this article, it reminds me of the Pixar animation studio, and I think Pixar also has the same reasons why they stand out from other animation studio, first they incorporate some advanced experience, second they have strong commitment to put lot of efforts (usually it takes 1 or 2 years to produce a cartoon movie, you can imagine how much effort they put), third they conduct lots of trial and run before the cartoon released. But the difference between Pixar and Star are that, they have the right population (like Toy 3 attracts both young kids and adults), what’s more they also pay attention to the industry trends (they kind of the leader of these trends). And they always kept the innovative and adventurous spirit (like the Wall-E, this movie set up the background in the 700 years later outer space and the main character is a robot who cannot speak). So there is a lot efforts to take to be successful.

To be Ethical or not to be Ethical, that is the question
Yesterday was really a busy day for me, from 9:30am to 9:30pm I spent my entire day in School Of Education, 3 courses that I took, for all kinds of reason, all happened to be held on that day. However, it is also a mind-working day for my brain compared to my summer holidays.
And the interesting part is that, 2 coursed-Inquiry Method and Cognition Psychology that I took all happen to referred to ethical issue, and we even had a discussion for Ethical Profession in the Inquiry Method class. We were required to discuss our impression about our understanding of “research”. Actually I was impressed by a PHD Student who is from Cairo, she use an graphic to describe her understanding of research.
Foundation
Perhaps I need more explanation about this graphic, here the research is like a house, the ethical profession is the foundation, without basic ethical consent, it is hard to imagine what consequences will be resulted in. Here is fewer examples from past.
1. http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110830/ap_on_he_me/us_med_experiments_on_humans_1
This is U.S. medical experiments done in Guatemala in the 1940s. I learned a new expression from this example "chillingly egregious."
2. http://www.highestfive.com/mind/5-unethical-psych-experiments/
This is 5 unethical experiments in Psychology field.
Process (Pillars)
Actually, this is the process I copied from Creswell text book.
External Context (roof)
This part mainly described the pressures that stop you from researching, because life is not all about research, you might be found bogged in sending your children to school, or some terrible weather (like the Hurricane, Snow storm.)
So research is not merely about research, ethical issues and external factors will also need to be considered in your process of researching.
Anyway, I feel this graphic is thoughtful, so post here~
