Phenomenology of perception.

From the Publisher: 
A Question of Identity 
Life on the Screen is a fascinating and wide-ranging investigation of the impact of computers and networking on society, peoples' perceptions of themselves, and the individual's relationship to machines. Sherry Turkle, a Professor of the Sociology of Science at MIT and a licensed psychologist, uses Internet MUDs (multi-user domains, or in older gaming parlance multi-user dungeons) as a launching pad for explorations of software design, user interfaces, simulation, artificial intelligence, artificial life, agents, "bots," virtual reality, and "the on-line way of life." 
Turkle's discussion of postmodernism is particularly enlightening. She shows how postmodern concepts in art, architecture, and ethics are related to concrete topics much closer to home, for example AI research (Minsky's "Society of Mind") and even MUDs (exemplified by students with X-window terminals who are doing homework in one window and simultaneously playing out several different roles in the same MUD in other windows). Those of you who have (like me) been turned off by the shallow, pretentious, meaningless paintings and sculptures that litter our museums of modern art may have a different perspective after hearing what Turkle has to say. 
This is a psychoanalytical book, not a technical one. However, software developers and engineers will find it highly accessible because of the depth of the author's technical understanding and credibility. Unlike most other authors in this genre, Turkle does not constantly jar the technically-literate reader with blatant errors or bogus assertions about how things work. Although I personally don't have time or patience for MUDs,view most of AI as snake-oil, and abhor postmodern architecture, I thought the time spent reading this book was an extremely good investment.

Hancock makes a range of claims but the most important is this: if a machine ‘learns,’ then, eventually, it will become ‘self-aware.’ It is self-awareness, he argues, that will distinguish machines...

Commentary: the intentions of washing machines

Mobile phones and the short-text messaging service (SMS or “text”) in particular are new social phenomena, much marvelled at and much commented upon (See Brown et al, 2002; Katz & Aakhus, 2002; Ling, 2004) This success is said to be because mobiles allow new levels of micromanagement in an age of fraught and tight deadlines (Plant, 2002), or because they allow communities to create and sustain their own language networks (Sandor, 2003: 71-81); but for some commentators, mobiles are making teenagers inarticulate (Gergen, 2003, pp22741); they are a distraction from true engagement with people at a face to face level (Katz, 2003, pp21-33), and, along with other technologies, they are leading to a dissolution of the ‘civic’ society (cf Sennet For a sample of papers on these topics see: Nyiri, 2003)

We present the “Time-Mill”: a digitally augmented mirror and image display device. Built by encasing off the-shelf components in a unique physical form, the Time-Mill is a cultural probe designed to explore how visual image capture, tactile input, and aesthetically controlled image replay can provide a basis for reflection, evocation of place, and aesthetic wonder in a home setting.

The Time-Mill: An interactive mirror evoking reflective experiences in the home

When I left home for university my mother admonished me, ‘Keep in touch’, she said, ‘Send me letters’. I had no idea that many years later the meaning of that phrase keep in touch would be resonating still. As I ambled up the garden path, I imagined that communicating with her was only a matter between us and so not a big matter, not something to make a career out of.
