Reflections on Invisible Computing
Statement:
“A good tool is an invisible tool. An invisible tool does not intrude on your
consciousness; you focus on the task, not the tool”
- Statement from Mark Weiser (1991)
- Technologies moeten invisible worden en zich gaan interageren in het
huishouden. Het moet genormaliseerd worden.
Before 80s: introduction & creation of computers
- How well does a computer perform a particular task/activity?
- Efficiency, performance, effectiveness,..
After the 80s: permeation & transforming effect of computers.
- How computers become an integral part of our society.
- What is the nature and value of such a hybrid activity?
- Fairness, appropriateness, meaningfulness,..
Corona app
- Zolang we geen corona hebben gaat die app zich gewoon op de achtegrond gaan
gedragen.
- Invisible, maar privacy?
- Values of security, privacy,..
- Al deze value gaan een design gaan vormen, makers gaan rekening houden met
de focus op privacy bijvoorbeeld.
5 CRITICAL LENSES ON THE DOWNSIDE OF INVISIBLE TECHNOLOGIES
1. INVISIBILITY DILEMMA
- We like invisibility (we moeten toegeven dat we het leuk vinden om
invisible te zijn)
- Because that’s efficient: we don’t want to inspect every
computerized transaction or program every step for ourselves
- Based on trust
- We critique a lack of visibility
- Because of values like transparency, privacy, security, accuracy,
fairness, inclusiveness, responsibility, accountability and democratic
control.
- Mistruct
- Als het niet clear is wat er gebeurt met onze data. We moeten
eigenlijk een balans gaan vinden tussen invisibility and visibility.
