There are the inevitable boosters and utopian dreamers who will tell us and sell u s on the notion that this new technology will change our lives\, in both big and small ways: we will be cleaner\, safer\, happier\, more efficie nt\, more productive\, and of course\, more modern with all that implies . The message here is everything will be different\, better. There are a lso the equally inevitable naysayers and dystopian dreamers who worry al ong equally familiar but slightly different lines: we will be less socia l\, less secure\, more isolated\, and more homogenous. The message here is everything will be different\, but perhaps not so much better. Of cou rse\, running in between these larger conversations are the practicaliti es of living with new technologies—how much does it cost? where does it live? who should look after it? what will we will do with it? and\, in t he end\, what will we do without it? \;\n \;\nPerhaps it is no sur prise then that we worry\, that new technologies are frequently accompan ied by anxiety\, and sometimes even fear. In this talk\, Genevieve trace s the roots of these hopes\, fears and anxieties back through our histor y with machines—Vaucason’s Duck\, Edison’s Talking Doll\, the tea-cup ro bots of the Edo-period in Japan\, Frankenstein’s monster and Ned Ludd’s polemics are all part of this story. She takes an expansive view\, cross ing cultures and historical periods\, to create a genealogy of our socio -technical anxieties. Ultimately\, she suggests a framework for making s ense of these anxieties\, and in so doing\, a new way of thinking about the next generation of technologies we are designing.\n\nTags: computer\ , ux\, interaction\, forum\, oregon\, portland\, chifoo\, user-experienc e\, story telling\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504656 04 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/ducks_dolls_robo ts_a_genealogy_of_socio-technical_anxieties/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO Meeting: Ducks\, Dolls & Robots: a Genealogy of Socio-Tech nical Anxieties LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
