Bit mapping


Interface simply means the process of two computers interacting. On a day to day basis we are interacting with others via technology. My future career needs interface to exist. The speed we share information is at an all time high, and just becoming more and more a part of the status quo. Johnson talks of the “increasingly naturalized role of the media in contemporary life”, referring to our generations dependence on social media and technology. There is a downside however, as Johnson says “There is no such thing as digital information without filters.” For example, if a celebrity or public figure does something notoriously newsworthy, it will go viral within minutes. Also the saying of “don’t do anything you want on the internet for eternity”, holds true. There truly is no filter with our capabilities.

  2. Hi Kendra,

    I think your interpretation is really well thought out. I have a question for you though, do you think that interface is just limited to computer to computer interaction or is it also interaction between a person and a computer? Just curious? By the way, I loved your example of a celebrity going viral in a matter of minutes. That example is very relatable in this age of social media and celebrity praising. Everyone wants to know what’s going on in a celebs life? What they use? And what they do with their day, so, your example functions well. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your future career?
