Oh! tragic, I feel uncomfortable writting even one sentence in English. I've lost my english since comming back to Korea. Almost three years, I was too lazy keeping on that. That's totally my fault. Though, I am going to try to blog about photovoltaics in English. Honestly, I feel the pressure.
Yes, Dan! keep going.

Writer's Block!
This is it...I have no idea what to write about, but I'm going to blog again. I haven't posted since June, 7 2008 - now I feel the pressure. This is my second attempt as I deleted the first attempt due to "lack of interest" in the title. I must say, I will continue to write about the day to day journey of a life walking with God.

/Windows Vs Resistance/
Which operating system do you use in your computer? Probably you are using windows serise developed by microsoft co. About ten years ago, Windows had lots of errors and there were also the other operating systems. But now it became the operating system itself for most people, and microsoft is running alone without a rival. Some people is worrying that microsoft monopolized the market. But there are some resistance against windows. Examples of resistance are
virus
trojan horse
worm
bomb
back door. We are going to look into those more.
In computer technology, a virus is not just a kind of germ that can cause disease. It is a program that introduces itself into a system, altering or destroying the information stored in the system.
A Trojan horse is a computer virus which is inserted into a program or system and is designed to take effect after a particular period of time or a certain number of operations.
A worm is a computer program that contains a virus which duplicates itself many times in a network.
Let me tell you about The Robert Morris' Internet Worm. When he was 23 year old, he wanted to measure how big internet is. So he made worm virus, the result was the worm virus made internet stop because of some error in the worm virus. Now he is a MIT professor. This is the worm virus in a diskette.
And another thing is a open-source. Have you ever heard about Linux? Linux is typical open source software which is free and everyone can share. These things are preventing monopolization. That was a Good lecture and the last class. I thank to Dr. Yoon for the great classes. Thank you.

do I have a PRIVACY?
Let me tell you the story that I've heard about the law of U.S. Under the age 13, it is prohibited to let the children alone. They must be with guardian- parents or anyone who is over 13. Is that reasonable? I think that is a good way of keeping their children safe. I saw lot of young babysisters in the movies and I wondered why they were doing that. Now I see what it is. Then do you think boys and girls under 14 in USA have no privacy?
Let's talk about Privacy and Public.
yes, the people in a prison absolutely have less freedom than people outside have. so they are watched by surveillance sistems. Even by the cameras in Manhattan, you can be watched where you are, what you are doing. then what can be a privacy? not being seen? nowdays the concept is getting confusing.
Here what they define of.
•1.
–a. the quality or state of being apart from company or observation
–b. SECLUSION: freedom from unauthorized intrusion one's
•2. archaic : a place of seclusion
And/ on architectureof privacy Lawrence Lessig said, life where less is monitored is a life more private; and life where less can be searched is also a life more private. Cookies have information about where you visited, Id and password. that was designed for the convenience, but now it raises the issue of privacy. With this problem Mac computer developed safari for private browsing.
Have you been to wal Mart or a Big supermarket? then you can see the lower selves filling with chocolates, candies and lots of sweetis. it is kind of results of data mining. The owner knows who likes sweetie and who is going to buy that. so they put the sweeites lower selves near the cash box. Datamining involves collecting information from data stored in a database, for example in order to find out about people's shopping habits,
and then is used to make an estimate.
well done! the point of today's class is that private life is getting less and less. Thanks, Mr.Yoon.

It's time to talk about HUMAN.^^
We are human-beings. But,
We've been talked about some technology stuff, like memex, www and ai. Now it's time to focus our attention on Human. Human beings invented lots of prosthesis, which is an artificial extension that replaces a missing body part. Prostheses are typically used to replace parts lost by injury or missing from birth or to supplement defective body parts. So if you just wear lenses on your eyes, you are using prosthesis. Same way using keyboard, you would not think where the letter is on the keyboard all the time, you just type what you want to write without that. Kinaesthetic is the term of this state.
Here, some categories to think about Human beings. Gender, race, sexualiy and class. Class means poor or rich. Among that, the best sensitive category is class. Because the rich would inherit an artificial gene which would be so expensive one between themselves.
Do you know what this animal is? It is a chimera. In Greek mythology, a chimera is a creature with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snack. It does not belong any of those.
LIKE CYBORG. A cyborg is not just a robot, it's more a being that is part human and part machine, or a machine that looks like a human being.
Donna Haraway used this to support her theory. She earned a degree in Zoology and Philosophy and completed her Ph. D. from the Biology.
A Cyborg Manifesto, Haraway has been described as a feminist. In 1985, Haraway published the essay A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century in "Simians, Cyborgs and Women". Although most of Haraway’s earlier work is focused on emphasizing the masculine bias in scientific culture, she has also contributed greatly to feminist narratives of the twentieth century. I think she is a really smart and charming woman.
Let's call it a day. Thank you for the good lecture, Dr.Yoon.

R U a GOOD game player?
Looking back into my childhood, I wasn't the one who is crazy about video games. One reason is that my mother wasn't good enough to give me such a expensive that one. So I used to play with my friends in the yard. For me~ COMPUTER GAMEs ?? It doesn't makes me feel excited. I mean just not for me, but OK you would. Do you like playing computer games?
Yes, I think there was a computer game I loved, STARCRAFT, that is a real big one. What do you think makes a good game? There should be lots of reasons, but I would mention the two important reasons, play and story. Here is what Rand Miller, co-creator of Myst and Riven, said about his new game :
"One of the reasons I think Myst was successful was that people are used to being entertained with stories. There're lots of ways to entertain, but the two primary ones are story—which is television and movies and books and all that—and the other is game play —blackjack and football and Parcheesi. There’re other ones, but those are two we are very familiar with. I think the mass market audience is more familiar with story. The first campfire the guys on the hunt come back with a story to tell--that is something anybody can partake in.”
Let us talk about Identification and Space. Have you imaged that you were the hero when you played a video game? You would've felt like that. Identification through action has a special kind of hold. Like playing a sport, it puts people into a highly focused, and highly charged state of mind. So Sherry Turkle thought video games as metaphysical machines ,as perfect mirrors, as drugs, as contests. What do you think makes boys like games much more than girls do around 1980s? in the other expression, what’s a boy’s space?
is it a place where boys can...
–enjoy lurid images?
–prove themselves with stunts?
–gain mastery?
–(re)produce hierarchies?
–vent aggressive feelings?/ like this...
Then, what's a Girl's space? It is a space of secrets and romance.
Some examples of that , the video game Tom lader, Rara Craft, inbodys everythings not just only video games itself, but also objectives who is gonna play the game. And the movie matrix, Neo, as well?
With grows of game industry, conversation between family is being stopped. Then what is the duty for us? Making good games which is developing for mental training? Then nobody would feel interested with that game. Confusing things. Anyways, Media makes people, too.
Thanks for the good lecture.^^

Big Helpers, computer.
Nowdays, Computers.are very helpful for us in every ways. It was surprising for me that kindergartens now have some cameras for the parents of the students to let them see their children through the internet. That means the parents can see their children playing, eating - how they are. That is a good system using computer aid. With developing computer aid, a part of the surveillance become an important issue. How can we make more efficient and safely works? Actually, big companies like LG and Samsung do not allow the workers to use email or messager during the work even in the company.
Let us see two pictures.
The first one shows us a history of surveillance. It's a panopticon developed by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century for prison. There is a watchtowel which made prisons think that they were under surveillance. This system is regarded effective. The other one is also an examples of the surveillance. That is a salt plant at arc-et-senans (1779)-a hierarchical organization of work -as the same way.
We can see the effecient ways of the surveillance in real situations, then how can we make efficient in the cybespace? one way would be making the bandwidth of a network bigger so it is as easy to upload a file as it is to download a file.
And computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) is a field of research and design which investigate how people work together in groups, and design computer-systems and networks to enable or facilitate group work. Practitioners, Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores present a methodology for CSCW analysis and design and says that conversations are sequences of actions because by saying things people are understood to be doing things. Confusing thing.
I need to pay more attention to the lecture cause I couldn't think lots of thinks that i've learned in the class. Cheer up, daeung. and thanks for the good lucture.
