4/30,5/2 COMPUTER-AID

introduction to information technology
[4/30 , 5/2 -- Computer-aid -- ]

This class we learnd "Computer-aid" Let's think about ethnomethodologists.
What is the ethnomethodology? An ethnomethodology is that how people make sense of the social world. Ethnomethodologists assume that social order is illusory. They believe that social life merely appears to be orderly; in reality it is potentially chaotic. For them social order is constructed in the minds of social actors as society confronts the individual as a series of sense impressions and experiences which she or he must somehow organize into a coherent pattern.

We watched Modern Times that movie performed by Charlie Chaplin. The movie represents the era of the beginning of the modern society. I think that the movie is related with CSCW (computer supported cooperative work) and it is a little bit humorous. So what is the CSCW? As I mentioned before, it is the cooperative working when we work by using computer and it is decide what to do. For example, there are Photoshop, illustration. These softwares are instead of us. It means that we can draw a straight line by using these tools and we do not need do whole part of working. There is CAD which is used to architecture. It is usable not only architecture but also products design. CAD is convenient to draft what you construct and design so numerous designers use CAD when they draw a plan to construct a building. Therefore, as we use the software which is like CAD, Adobe Photoshop, Illustration etc, we can make the relation with the topic that is mentioned before. The topic was that technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.

In this class, at first, I think this subject is very common and easy for me. but it is very hard. so a don't understand some part. but I think that Comeputer-aid is very important and very useful part. It is necessary for us.
