Electric Dreams

Image
Electric Dreams By:Ted Friedman Published on 2005-12-01 by NYU Press Electric Dreams turns to the past to trace the cultural history of computers. Ted Friedman charts the struggles to define the meanings of these powerful machines over more than a century, from the failure of Charles Babbage’s “difference engine” in the nineteenth century to contemporary struggles over file swapping, open source software, and the future of online journalism. To reveal the hopes and fears inspired by computers, Electric Dreams examines a wide range of texts, including films, advertisements, novels, magazines, computer games, blogs, and even operating systems. Electric Dreams argues that the debates over computers are critically important because they are how Americans talk about the future. In a society that in so many ways has given up on imagining anything better than multinational capitalism, cyberculture offers room to dream of different kinds of tomorrow.

HT THINK LIKE A COMPUTER SCIEN

Image
HT THINK LIKE A COMPUTER SCIEN By:Jeffrey Elkner,Allen B. Downey,Chris Meyers Published on 2016-10-04 by Samurai Media Limited The goal of this book is to teach you to think like a computer scientist. This way of thinking combines some of the best features of mathematics, engineering, and natural science. Like mathematicians, computer scientists use formal languages to denote ideas (specifically computations). Like engineers, they design things, assembling components into systems and evaluating tradeoffs among alternatives. Like scientists, they observe the behavior of complex systems, form hypotheses, and test predictions. The single most important skill for a computer scientist is problem solving. Problem solving means the ability to formulate problems, think creatively about solutions, and express a solution clearly and accurately. As it turns out, the process of learning to program is an excellent opportunity to practice problem-solving skills. That's why this chapter is called

Why computers are computers

Image
Why computers are computers By:David Rutland Published on 1995-09-01 by Wren Pub WHY COMPUTERS ARE COMPUTERS describes in everyday language what makes a computer a computer. The mystery behind the keyboards & video screen of your PC is revealed for all to understand & appreciate. Strange as it may seem, your PC uses the same principle, the STORED PROGRAM CONCEPT, that was invented 50 years ago. This principle is simply explained by telling, for the first time, the story of the first computer built in the western U.S., the SWAC. Built at UCLA by the National Bureau of Standards, it was finished in 1950 & was then the fastest computer in the world. The author, an engineer on the SWAC project, relates the history first hand & tells of how & why it was built & of the man responsible for its design & construction, Harry D. Huskey. As the SWAC story unfolds, the similarity between the new & the old, the PC & the SWAC, becomes apparent. Without technical ja

Anthropology-Based Computing

Anthropology-Based Computing By:John N.A. Brown Published on 2016-03-16 by Springer We have always built tools to improve our productivity and help us lead better lives; however we find ourselves constantly battling against our new computerized tools, making us less productive and putting our health and our lives at risk. This book looks at Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from a truly human-centred perspective; focusing on human physiology and psychology rather than the motley series of brilliant innovations, glorified mistakes, and cross-generational habits that comprise the computer-centred HCI that we practice today. This three-part guide argues that human interest and calm technology need to be at the heart of HCI. It begins by exposing the inherent dangers in past and present HCI. Using his past experiences within Anthropology, Linguistics, Education, Ergonomics, Human Factors, and Computer Science the author introduces and explores the theory of ‘Anthropology-Based Computing’ (A

Superminds By:Thomas W. Malone Published on 2018-05-15 by Little, Brown From the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence comes a fascinating look at the remarkable capacity for intelligence exhibited by groups of people and computers working together. If you're like most people, you probably believe that humans are the most intelligent animals on our planet. But there's another kind of entity that can be far smarter: groups of people. In this groundbreaking book, Thomas Malone, the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, shows how groups of people working together in superminds -- like hierarchies, markets, democracies, and communities -- have been responsible for almost all human achievements in business, government, science, and beyond. And these collectively intelligent human groups are about to get much smarter. Using dozens of striking examples and case studies, Malone shows how computers can help create more intelligent sup

This approach is based on the author's discovery of the profound analogy between pattern recognition and pattern formation in open systems far from equilibrium. Thus the mathematical and conceptual tools of synergetics can be exploited, and the concept of the synergetic computer formulated. A complete and rigorous theory of pattern recognition and learning is presented. The resulting algorithm can be implemented on serial computers or realized by fully parallel nets whereby no spurious states occur. Explicit examples (recognition of faces and city maps) are provided. The recognition process is made invariant with respect to simultaneous translation, rotation, and scaling, and allows the recognition of complex scenes. Oscillations and hysteresis i

Utopias, Dolphins and Computers

Utopias, Dolphins and Computers By:Mary Midgley Published on 2003-09-02 by Routledge Why do the big philosophical questions so often strike us as far-fetched and little to with everyday life? Mary Midgley shows that it need not be that way; she shows that there is a need for philosophy in the real world. Her popularity as one of our foremost philosophers is based on a no-nonsense, down-to-earth approach to fundamental human problems, philosphical or otherwise. In Utopias, Dolphins and Computers she makes her case for philosophy as a difficult but necessary tool for solving some of the most pressing issues facing contemporary society. How should we treat animals? Why are we so confused about the value of education? What is at stake in feminism? Why should we sustain our environment? Why do we think intelligent computers will save us? Mary Midgley argues that philosophy not only can, but should be used in thinking about these questions. Utopias, Dolphins and Computers will make fascinati

Computers--inside and out By:Kurt F. Lauckner,Mildred D. Lintner Published on 1991 by Pippin Publishing has created a new approach to computer literacy in the form of COMPUTERS: INSIDE & OUT by Lauckner, Lintner, & Vile. Pippin's philosophy emphasizes foundations & fundamentals of computers & computer science. Part I begins with an answer to the question: What is Information? The five kinds of information (i.e. numbers, symbols, pictures, sound, & instructions) are discussed along with where the computer keeps them (e.g. RAM, ROM, floppy disks, CD ROM). Understanding how a computer works is approached through the ROBOT & Pencil & Paper computers. Then how to communicate with the computer through high level languages is addressed. Part II of the book discusses the six major applications used in every field of human endeavor (i.e. visual communication, audio communication, information systems, education & training, artificial intelligence, & simula
