this week's key point>>
People often interact with media technologies as though the technologies were people.
I learned about related points(ethics, aesthetics & teleology, design) and questions.
Also, We studied history of HCI (from a tool-building perspective).

question for today>>what problem does Weizenbaum’s ELIZA system address or solve?the artificial intelligence answer: it does (or does not) behave like a human and is therefore successful (or not successful)
the ethnomethodology answer: it is taken to be a like a person in a conversation and thus simply works like most other technologies in a social situation
(※definition of the ethnomethodology>> Ethnomethodology simply means the study of the ways in which people make sense of their social world. Ethnomethodology is a fairly recent sociological perspective, founded by the American sociologist Harold Garfinkel in the early 1960s. The main ideas behind it are set out in his book "Studies in Ethnomethodology" (1967).)
