Week 3: Achieving Fit

HUMAN + COMPUTERS = ?

In order to merge human with computers, first we have to identify the problems.

Human is controlled by the brain, the mind, their thinking. Each and every human is different but computers aren't. They're machines, made by humans, they don't have their own thinking. It may alert us about errors, give us warnings with those pop-up messages but it is all programmed inside it by the programmers. Computers don't have a brain to think and tell you what's exactly wrong with them. They don't have emotions. You may yell, shout, hit, kick, bang the computer but it does not give any respond to you and by doing all that, you'll only damage you own computer and get more frustrated. Some people will just use Google to search for answer.

How about having the computers to speak nicely and in a more humanly way? For example, when the computer is giving you some feedback like say, "Error, please try again." Would you like that? or do you prefer something like "Oops, that's the wrong one. Please try again." Although it may sound more human like but sometimes when you're mood isn't in it's place, it might get annoying. Some may prefer the computer to have respond that is more human like but some others may think it's creepy that a machine is talking to you like it's alive!
