While most historical accounts of the development of computer design focus on specific computers or manufacturers, examining the success stories of hardware and operating systems, Delete: A Design History of Computer Vapourware creates a completely new narrative by investigating the machines that didn't make it. Fascinating, full-colour images of computer designs, many of them previously unpublished, are accompanied by the hitherto untold stories of their planning and development, the pitfalls and successes in their creation, the market and competition at the time and the reasons why they never finally appeared for sale. Appealing both to a broad audience and to a more specialist one of designers and computer historians, Delete, with its unique collection of prototypes that never made it to the market, depicts a technological world that might have been.
Mood and Mobility
An argument that as we engage with social media on our digital devices we receive, modify, intensify, and transmit moods. We are active with our mobile devices; we play games, watch films, listen to music, check social media, and tap screens and keyboards while we are on the move. In Mood and Mobility, Richard Coyne argues that not only do we communicate, process information, and entertain ourselves through devices and social media; we also receive, modify, intensify, and transmit moods. Designers, practitioners, educators, researchers, and users should pay more attention to the moods created around our smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Drawing on research from a range of disciplines, including experimental psychology, phenomenology, cultural theory, and architecture, Coyne shows that users of social media are not simply passive receivers of moods; they are complicit in making moods. Devoting each chapter to a particular mood—from curiosity and pleasure to anxiety and melancholy—Coyne shows that devices and technologies do affect people's moods, although not always directly. He shows that mood effects are transitional; different moods suit different occasions, and derive character from emotional shifts. Furthermore, moods are active; we enlist all the resources of human sociability to create moods. And finally, the discourse about mood is deeply reflexive; in a kind of meta-moodiness, we talk about our moods and have feelings about them. Mood, in Coyne's distinctive telling, provides a new way to look at the ever-changing world of ubiquitous digital technologies.
Ruh Hâli ve Sosyal Medya
Bu kitap, dijital medya ile etkileşimimiz üzerinden ruh hâllerimizin nasıl şekillendiğini ve dijital platformlar aracılığıyla nasıl paylaşıldığını inceliyor. Richard Coyne, dijital medya kullanımının yalnızca bilgi alışverişi veya eğlenceden öte bir etkiye sahip olduğunu savunuyor; dijital medya, ruh hâllerimizi sadece yansıtmıyor, aynı zamanda dönüştürüyor, yoğunlaştırıyor ve bir noktada birbirimize aktarmamıza olanak tanıyor. Kitap, bu etkilerin yalnızca dijital medyada geçirilen zamanla sınırlı kalmadığını, aksine sürekli bir hareket hâlindeki ruh hâllerinin dijital dünyada nasıl geliştiğini ve şekillendiğini ortaya koyuyor. Coyne, fenomenoloji, kültür teorisi, mimarlık, felsefe ve psikoloji gibi çeşitli disiplinlerden faydalanarak, her bölümde farklı ruh hâllerini – merak, melankoli, kaygı gibi – ele alarak dijital medyanın bu ruh hâllerine nasıl etki ettiğini derinlemesine inceliyor. Dijital medya aracılığıyla ruh hâllerinin paylaşılması, sadece bir duygusal tepki değil, aynı zamanda sosyal etkileşimlerin yeniden şekillendiği bir süreçtir. Dijital medya kullanıcısının artık yalnızca pasif bir alıcı değil, ruh hâllerini şekillendiren bir katılımcı olduğu bu çalışma, teknolojilerin ve dijital ortamların bireylerin duygusal dünyasını nasıl dönüştürdüğüne dair yeni bir bakış açısı sunuyor.
