What impressed me the most when I visited the Computer History Museum was that the history of technology felt like a “story created by people’s imagination and curiosity,” not just the development of machines or codes. Looking at the exhibition, I realized that many of the technologies we take for granted now started from someone’s experiments, failures, and persistent curiosity.
The class mainly focused on the structure of technology or the development of interface design, but in the museum, you could feel the human context and emotions contained in it.
Among them, the most memorable exhibition was Chatbots Decoded.
At a time when artificial intelligence is expanding so fast and entering our daily lives.
It was interesting to be able to see and learn firsthand where the origin began.
From early simple conversation programs to today’s sophisticated chatbots and robots,
I realized how old the dream of “I want to make machines think and talk like humans” is.
In particular, rather than seeing AI as a mere technical tool, it was a great learning that came to be viewed as a philosophical and design attempt to understand human language and thinking.
When I deal with or design technology in the future, this experience will be used,
It made me feel again that we have to think about not only ‘technology progress’ but also the human intentions and ethical questions contained in it
