Computers and Community

By: Mohd. Fariz


21/44

In the early era of computer

While all this razzle-dazzle connects us electronically itdisconnects us from each other having us interfacing more withcomputers and TV screens than looking in the face of our fellowhuman beings.


22/44

Something goes on among humans that is definitely notpresent in human-machine relationship.


23/44

SO

How serious are these problems?

Does the internet make people narrow &unsocial?

Is working on a computer more isolatingthan reading a book, an activity that isusually applauded?

Is the internet destroying communities?


24/44


25/44

The online banking and shopping causes

fewer opportunities for people to co-

present resulting in isolation from

neighbors.


26/44

BUTThe number of clubs andother organizations that people

join over the internet help solve

social problems in a community!

That is why

participation in

clubs has been

declining!


27/44

BUT that is actually cause by other

factors

Modern transportation and

communications (encourage increased

mobility)

Changes in family pattern (divorce, working

mother, later marriage)

Televisyen

33/44

Digital Divide

Simply means that a group of people that have

access to and regularly use computer, information

and communications technology, while others do

not.

Old View of Digital Divide

Focus on bridging the gap between poor people in rural areas and

the rich within the country.


35/44

New View of Digital Divide

Focus on bridging the gap between developed and poor

countries.


36/44

The Computer Professionals for SocialResponsibility (CPSR) also set a minimumrequirement to reduce Digital Divide

Everyone in the country must have access to

the Net.

Hardware and software must be easy to use

and fit the needs of all users including the

disabled.

Training must be available.Pricing must be structured so it is affordable.

EVALUATIONS OF THE IMPACT OF

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY

The Neo-Luddite View of Computers, Technology,

and Human Needs

The Accomplishments of Technology

Neo-Luddite


39/44

40/44

Luddite criticisms of computer

technology

Computers cause massive unemployment

No real need

Computers separate humans from nature anddestroy the environment

Computers do little or nothing to solve real humanproblem

Accomplishment of Technology

Real buying power is up

Food supplies and GDP are growing fasterthan the population

Dramatic impact on life expectancy

Assistive technologies benefit those withdisabilities


42/44

MAKING DECISIONS ABOUTTECHNOLOGY


43/44

Each new technology finds new and unexpected uses

The history of technology is full of wildly wrong predictions

Weizenbaum argued against developing speech recognitiontechnology

Mistaken expectations of costs and benefits

Should we decline a technology because of potential abuse

and ignore the benefits? New technologies are often expensive, but costs drop as

the technology advances and the demand increases

The Difficulty of Prediction:


44/44

Intelligent Machines and Super-intelligentHumans - Or the End of the Human Race?

Technological Singularity - point at whichartificial intelligence or some combined

human-machine intelligence advances so farthat we cannot comprehend what lies on theother side

We cannot prepare for aftermath, but preparefor more gradual developments

Select a decision making process most likely toproduce what people want
