"4th week's Summary and Comment"

**Summary**
First, let's look around keypoint about learning until now.

1. When technologies connect or separate people, they become media.
2. Technologies embody social, political, cultural,

economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.
3. When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media.
4. New media do not replace old media, they displace them.

explain about media. And this week' keypoint is "People make media and then media make people." It means that some people make media and people is affected by media. For example, massenger has already known by people.

Next, let's see about 'Tim burners-lee'. He is called Internet's father. "A www was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project." He just made www. He is funded by various deparment.

Also, "what is the stated genealogy of the technology?" The answer is bush's memex nelson's writings on hypertext; berners-lee's early implementations.

Let's back soon again about "what is the www?". A first answer is a collaboratively authored hypertext. Another answer is a standard. The standard is similar to rule. The organization and rule needs for communication because it can not communicate without language.
ISO(International standards organization), IETF(Internet engineering task force), W3C(World-wide web consortium) and RFC(Request for comments) is all accepted with requiring a kinds of comment.

and we saw also Nam June Paik's media art and video art by professor. He's idea is very great! He thought creatively.

and URI(universal resource identifier) is look like web address and it is a sort locator, not location. Also HTML(hypertext markup language) is a sort language form. Html is derived from sgml (standard generalize markup language).

and HTTP(hypertext transfer protocol)- Http is an internet protocol designed for transferring information for hypertext documents.

Then, let's find last answer about "what is the www?" The answer is that "the www is a vast, heterogeneous network of people and machines. The www is more and more increasing, very much variety and connecting between people and people such as blog.

**Comment**
Until now, we have learned about five keypoints. Its is all very important sentences or proper sentences. Expecially this week's keypoint is that people influence media each other. Every week, we have learned about "media". The reason why emphaize media is very important word today. I expect next lecture about another connecting media.

"3rd week"- Summary and Comment

**Summary**
To begin with, start after knowing the answer about this question "What does 'digtal Media' mean?" It means human's expression, communication, society interaction, science-technology etc ,that is, electronic medium working on the code.

Then now, let's know about key points this week. First, "When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media." This information sounds as natural. Right! Whatever, when making new things, old things are changing and throwing away. Second, "New media do not replace old media, they displace them." Media is not just a substitute. It can't coexistence. So, old media vanish.

This week's focus is "Hypertext" by Ted nelson.
"Hypertext": One way that digital media has been understood is as new forms of writing, reading and thinking. Let's give examples learning to professor. It is 'Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem'. Write anything not thinking on the paper and they all gather. Then, they are a poem.

Now, I should summary the most important a person, "Engelbart".
He famous especially computer mouse's inventor. Also, he is a pioneer field of human and computer's interaction such as interface, hypertext, network computer etc. Do you remember that we learned about 'Vannevar Bush' last week? Engelbart gets inspiration from 'As we may think' written by 'Vannevar Bush' So, he tride various experience.

Look around a few about "Augmenting human intellect" written by Engelbart. He stated two problems in this script. "Better & Faster comprehension + Better & Faster & more solutions to problems".

Also, about "What narrative strategies are employed in the article?" he focused 'concentration', 'negotiation', 'personality' etc. And know about "othering-human and machine dichotmy" He thought about method connecting the two things. So, he thought "H-LAM/T system".
* H-LAM/T system: Human using Language, Artifacts, Methodology, in which he is Trained

**Comment**
I amazed every time whenever learning lecture because a great man for changing the future is many. 'Vannevar Bush' learned last week or 'Engelbart' learner this week all great! In the past, amazing those thinking and trying. This week's topic is not also easy but I got much information. I expect next week's lecture.

"2nd week" - Lecture summary and Comment

**Summary**
First of all, the key about digtal media technologies is that when they connect or separate people, they become media. For example, imagine car learning lecture. Car' mean is connect each mechanisms or separate in and out. It is medium.
Also, the technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships. After all, they all mean a medium.

Next, Let's know about Vannevar Bush. The most important contribution among he achieved things is MEMEX. It saves various formations and the formations extend so, record them. Because record is not only very important in science but also minimalize the problem that human made. MEMEX treats also fast speed and flexible for datum.

In addition to, Bush emphasized thinking and speeding method. For example, bellboy and telephone learning lecture. He thought technology's improvement.
In conclusion, Bush thought "The reason why MEMEX made is that human made very intricate culture so, they needed very perfectly systematization their records." MEMEX is similar to today's "WWW".


**Comment**
I little read “As we may think” and first little difficulty. But, after learning lecture, about media I got very much the formations.
In the past, Bush already thought about media so, I so very impressive. Also, digtal media technologies is doing very good function as a medium.

I think "All technology using in IT industry is today very utility and elegance."
2nd week's lecture is very significance.
