The future digital culture is a topic that raises many questions such as ‘where does the future of digital culture lie?’ and ‘how will human interact with technology in the future?’. Personally, I believe the future of digital cultures certainly lies with how technology develops, focussing on computers particularly. This links in with week 5 with the topic being ‘issues of interface’. Computers have become as common in the household as a television especially since the beginning of the 21st Century, so how human interaction with computers develop is important as people always seem to prefer simplicity.
The hardware of a personal computer has changed immensely since the 1970’s which has allowed people to use them for hours without feeling any physical strains. Small features such as adjustable monitors and chairs to allow comfort and prolonged time spent on a computer. This has become vital over the years as ICT jobs have been on the increase so products like mouse’s, keyboards, computer desk and chairs have allowed personal or desktop computers to become more ‘human friendly’.
Computers are becoming even more ‘human friendly’ which coincides with the fact that personal computers are found in many households. Since the introduction of windows 7 there has been more of an emphasis of touch screen computers. The development in both the hardware along with the software is important, allowing more simplicity for people. The continuation of personal computers becoming more ‘human friendly’ is vital for the future of digital cultures because many of the blog postings this year has been related to the internet or computers.
