Computers as people: human interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick 1968), crewmembers of a spaceship interact with the ship’s computer by talking to it. The computer, named HAL9000, has no keyboard or mouse; the only way to communicate with it is conversationally. HAL9000 behaves the same way people do in conversation, using subtle strategies such as hedging, indirect requests, and politeness to accomplish its goals. The crewmembers also converse with HAL in the same way they converse with each other, using natural language and social courtesy. Judging by the way the rest of the technology on the ship is presented, the viewer is led to believe that this conversational capability is a natural extrapolation of the computer trends of the sixties and would not be implausible by the year 2001, just 33 years after the release of the movie.
