Advances in interfaces--the physical way we react with computers--and other techniques of controlling computers will supplement the role of the traditional keyboard and mouse. Technologies in development include surfaces that allow fingertip control of on-screen objects and devices that sense and react to--movement.
But we should assess human-computer interaction (HCI) to ensure that we retain control of key decision-making processes, one report suggests.
Display technologies will soon allow us to fix screens of all sizes in a variety of fabrics. In the near future we will still be reading paper books and magazines; but we’ll also be using paper-like digital screens to distribute content.
Cheap and easily-accessed digital storage allows consumers to electronically record and store more aspects of our lives--allowing us to share information and interact with people across the globe. This hyper-connectivity liberates us from fixed telephone lines, desks and offices, while advances in robotics develop the computer’s ability to learn and make decisions.
"New computing technology is tremendously exciting," said Tom Rodden, Professor at the University of Nottingham. "But the interaction between humans and computers is evolving into a complex ecosystem where small changes can have far-reaching consequences. While new interfaces and hyper-connectivity mean we are increasingly mobile, we can see that they are obscuring the line between work and personal space. "
"Huge storage capabilities raise fundamental privacy issues around what we should be recording and what we should not. The potential of machine learning might well result in computers increasingly making decisions on our behalf. It is imperative that we combine technological innovations with an understanding of their impact on people. "
The report argues that without proper monitoring and assessment it is possible that we may no longer be in control of ourselves or the world around us. This potentially places the computeron a collision course with basic human values and concepts such as personal space, society, identity, independence, perception, intelligence and privacy.
The report gives recommendations for the HCI community to adopt to ensure that human values inform future development. These include educating young people so that they understand HCI and the impact of computer advances early on and engaging with governments, policy-makers and society as a whole to provide counsel and give advance warning of the emerging implications of new computing ecosystems.
"Computing has the potential to enhance the lives of billions of people around the world. We believe that if technology is to truly bring benefit to humanity, then human values and the impact of technology must be considered at the earliest possible opportunity in the technology design process," said Abigail Sellen. one of the editors of the report.
New technologies will make a computer
选项
A、less complex in structure.
B、less varied in appearance.
C、more automatic in operation.
D、more user friendly in future,
答案
D
解析
新技术会使计算机怎么样?根据第一段第一句“Advances in interfaces--the physical way we react with comput-ers—and other techniques of controlling computers will supplementthe role of the traditional keyboard and mouse.”可知,触屏技术的进步——我们的身体与计算机互动的方式——以及其他控制计算机的技术将对传统的键盘和鼠标的作用进行补充。根据第三段第一句“Display technologies will soon allow us to fixscreens of all sizes in a variety of fabrics”可知显示技术将很快使我们能够在各种纤维上安装各种尺寸的屏幕。根据第四段第一句“Cheap and easily-accessed digital storage allows consum-ers to electronically record and store more aspects of our lives-al-lowing us to share information and interact with people across theglobe”可知便宜便捷的数码存储方式使消费者能够以电子的方式记录并存储我们生活的各个方面——它允许人们与全球的居民分享信息和互动。综合以上信息可知计算机将更加人性化,故选D。
