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.
