Bill Verplank reading

Bill Verplank’s reading on Blackboard was difficult to respond to. I feel that I will need to return to it throughout the semester to fully understand what it has to say. For now though, it has served to force me to look at computers objectively, not an easy thing given their place in society, and look at the relationship computers have to interactive design. Dividing thought on human-computer interaction into the three paradigms of brain, tool and media is a concept I had not thought of before, but it makes a great deal of sense. I think this will be a rading worth examining further.
