Recitation 3: Sensors

Vibration Sensor: 

     

We choose the vibration sensor for our recitation exercise. We build a circuit that integrates this sensor with Arduino. Basically what we are just turned on the LED as an output. When we touched the vibration sensor, it could light it up which had an interaction with it.

Question 1: What did you intend to assemble in the recitation exercise? If your sensor/actuator combination were to be used for pragmatic purposes, who would use it, why would they use it, and how could it be used?

I was intend to assemble the connection between senor and LED in the recitation exercise. If my sensor combination were to be used for pragmatic purposes, most people would like to use it. Since it is just like the light that we turned on at home when someone touched it.

Question 2: Code is often compared to following a recipe or tutorial. Why do you think that is?

The reason that code is often compared to following a recipe or tutorial is that they are something that needs to progress step by step. And following the direction of what people made it.

Question 3: In The Language of New Media, Manovich describes the influence of computers on new media. In what ways do you believe the computer influences our human behaviors?

Of course,  almost everything is made by computer now. And new media requires a lot of technology to support it. I believe that these two points are enough to prove that the computer influences our human behaviors
