Questions from Mizusa, Oct 9
1.Vannevar states that all we need to do is to take advantage of existing mechanisms and to alter our language to make the record. Will future cinema be made with the latest or the old tech? People’s preferences of the old, can be taken to configure the future cinema? If so, why so?
2. In chapter 5, Vannevar states, “The scientist, however, is not the only person who manipulates data and examines the world about him by the use of logical processes, although he sometimes preserves this appearance by adopting into the fold anyone who becomes logical, much in the manner in which a British labour leader is elevated to knighthood. From what kind of field should professionals be involved in to make technological development to be rational?
3. Vannevar believes that human beings cannot hope fully to duplicate their mental processes artificially. If a certain number of people fully hopes so and realizes the artificial mental process, then do we rely on robots for making-decision?
4. “Presumably man’s spirit should be elevated if he can better review his shady past and analyze more completely and objectively his present problems”, Vannevar claims. What is a state where the human’s spirit become “elevated” in the era of information? More tech-associated, or what?
