![]() ![]() Human and cognitive technology intermingle and change each other. From the personal view, the artifact does not enhance perception but change the mission into learning new methods. From the system view, cognitive artifacts improve human cognition. Thirdly, considering technologies as cognitive artifacts can foresee the benefits and dangers of these technologies. Only when regarding those machines as symbolic-cognitive artifacts, can we fully understand their design principles. Machines don’t exist isolation they interact with daily human life and become a part of human cognitive capabilities. Secondly, it connects technologies with the social world of human beings. So the cognitive technologies view help people understanding abstract patterns and thus better de-BlackBox techniques, which encourage people to create new technologies. ![]() No matter how complicated these technologies are, they all intend to enhancing human cognitive abilities. Firstly, it develops a variety of computational opportunities and provides a more accessible path when analyzing the algorithm of these technologies. Calculator improve our cognition on math notation.Ĭonsidering computational and media technologies as “cognitive technologies” help us better understand the secrets of those technologies. Without a calculator, we can still figure out mathematics problems but only slower. By inputting numbers and choosing methods, we can get the answers at nearly a second. Calculator make mathematics problems easier. Camera display imagination function and enhance human’s memory and expression capabilities.Īnother example is the calculator. Before inventing the camera, people draw down what they want to express. Pictures contributes a lot when sharing with others. Like the camera, people usually remember and describe what they have seen, but using a camera helps them deepen the impression and record images. ![]() From Kate Wong’s article, modern technologies, which based on human beings’ symbolic capabilities, are just improvement inherited from earlier tools. They reveal human cognitive performance and present it in other forms. Cognitive artifacts functions as a bridge connecting human minds and the outside world. ![]()
