What would happen if these machines suddenly disappeared? How would we feel? What would it do to us?

My inability of being also to express myself in real life and my love and way of expressing myself through editing and technology. My existence is becoming virtual, things I love doing are no longer physical but virtual, online, on a screen. It's where I release and where the true anxiety free me lies and is at peace. This ties into Donna Haraways WEEK 1 KEY THINKERS 4 "We can be responsible for machines; they do not dominate or threaten us. We are responsible for boundaries" the hiding from reality I do harms me socially.]]> 2021-03-15 11:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/josephshaw1998/blbj8so5t9lww6d9/wish/1310079241 KEY THINKERS josephshaw1998 https://padlet.com/josephshaw1998/blbj8so5t9lww6d9/wish/1310081871 Week 1
Donna Haraway KEY THINKERS 4 "the machine is us, our process, an aspect of our embodiment"

Jacques Laffitie KEY THINKERS 1: "machines? extensions of man". Machines are created to help humans fulfil their purpose when in some cases, humans physically can't achieve what the machine can. 

WEEK 2
KEY THINKERS 3 - What jobs will there be in the future? those who work and look to improve their skills in an unknown and unfamiliar area with in technology/machinery will have an advantage here. However, those who spend too much time on such things way end up becoming a slave to it, part of it, obsessed by it. Which is another part covered in WEEK 2 in from the film Metropolis

However, we understand the actions that make a human being a human being. we relate such emotional behaviour such as reason, morality, consciousness, love, happiness and sadness as some of the basic human traits to that make us human. we are taught that humans are flesh and blood were as as machines are bolts and screws, is this accurate?]]> 2021-03-16 10:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/josephshaw1998/blbj8so5t9lww6d9/wish/1314876621 What makes a machine a machine? josephshaw1998 https://padlet.com/josephshaw1998/blbj8so5t9lww6d9/wish/1314876995 During research I have come across many different definitions of what a machine is such as:
- A machine is anything that reduces human effort
- A machine is a device with moving parts that uses power to perform a specific task
- An apparatus using mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task
- A machine is an object that has been artificially made to perform some sort of process
The general characteristics of the behaviour of a machine that make is a machine that we as humans have come to understand is a piece of electrical equipment that has no feelings or hidden agenda. Something that can't do anything original but only what it's designed to do.

They are instruments that help humans perform a job - but do they do more? are they doing more to us. This is how we collectively see machines but they are slowly becoming more than that, they are apart of our every day life.]]> 2021-03-16 10:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/josephshaw1998/blbj8so5t9lww6d9/wish/1314876995 Essay breakdown josephshaw1998 https://padlet.com/josephshaw1998/blbj8so5t9lww6d9/wish/1314896495 intro to essay
intro to humans/what is a human/what makes us human
intro to machines/what makes a machine a machine(laffitie key thinkers 1) and They are instruments that help humans perform a job

intro to how people are affected by machinery and the evolution of it including myself.
"for example i am very introverted"
intro to introverts relationship to machines in the modern. (Haraway key thinkers 4)

touch on the movie "Metropolis" and how its an exaggerated version of us today. and a potential path we're going down

Some of the very first machines were
the wheel - to help the flow of objects
the lever - to help move heavy objects the pulley - to help us lift heavy objects
the inclined plane - to help people move themselves and objects from lower to higher places

Machines help us to do tasks easier and quicker than we can ourselves but as the movie Metropolis shows we have been dependent and influenced by them ever since. 

Poorer people and workers have  adopted a sort of robotic and uniform behaviour towards the machines they work for. in some cases, completely depending on them to do their job.


For as long as we've had computers, we've tried to make machines that think like we do or solve the same tasks that humans do. only  much more efficiently.
