This week's new key point is "People make media and then media make people." People make up the media by some data, and media make people. 'media make people' means that people need to help for media in the recognition. It likes people and name 's connection. when we recognize the man, we need his name.
WWW can express three point. One is a collaboratively authored hypertext. Next is a standard. third, it is a vast. WWW is huge, big and wide thing. www is heterogeneous network of people and machines.
We learned ISO, IETF and RFC. ISO is international standards organization. It acts as a bridge between public and private sector. IETF is internet engineering task force. and RFC is request for comments. that is very good system. It can listen a suggestion.
Also we learn URL and HTML. URL is universal resource locator. It contain protocol(http, ftp, mailto), scheme(server, directory, file after), urn( in a specific name, a speciric resource). HTML is hypertext markup language. It is derived from sgml.
Last Dr.Yoon introduced "Nam Jun Paik'. I think his work of art's special feature is participation. In 1960s, he invent several special things. that would not think another people in those days. His art exist as art, technology, and some different form. I am impressed him.
This time is so difficult to understand text and the words. but I try to understand. When appear unknown word, I skip and read the rest. so I comprehend on the whole.

Beginning class. we review last time. after we get a outline. and preview two key point.
Hypertext is a way of connecting piece of text so that you can go quickly and directly from one to another. This week's point is that. New media was made, but that do not replace old media, they displace them. for example, folder icon(We use in computer) has come from real folder(We filed some paper).

Like this media use some method to make a new media. One of them is hypertext. we can see many video and poem about hypertext media. that is different another poem. Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem is cutting out the article and bring it back all together by automatic writing. also software artist are cutting up. Many "cut ups" have a some noise or another phenomenon. but sometimes it in natural course.

Another thing is computing of the 1960s. in 1960s standard computer was hollerith cards and paper printouts. and computer human interaction was very slow so, they want better, faster comprehension. after that engelbart's invite batch processing. in result to input and output is better. Engelbart's motivation is extending human intelligence.

H-LAM/T system is connect human knowledge(intelligence) and mechanical. it use connecting interface.
