It was great to finally get talking to Joseph McBrinn about the two assessments. I really did not what to do for each assignment, and was good to talk to Joseph as I was finding a lot of the reading material very difficult to comprehend. Although I did notice that from reading the difficult texts, I found reading other material to be much easier and my overall understanding was improving.
Assignments
For the first assignment we discussed about looking into the theory of designers such as Nicholas Negroponte, and Don Norman and apply the emotional design and the how we will interact with touch sensitive screens.
For the second assignment I will have to look more so at the area of my practice — iPhone Development, and we talked about:
- Look at the bigger picture how does the iPhone affect the way we interact with the world.
- If stranded on a beach would an iPhone be one of the 3 objects you would take with you?
- In 9 months Apple have reached over 1 Billon iPhone App sales, and how can this effect the economic values of the world and its competitors.
- The pros and cons of the iPhone device.
- The possible effect of the much anticipated Mac Tablet have on the consumer market?
Action Agreed
We agreed to start looking at different theories by individuals such as Nicholas Negroponte, and Don Norman, and how these theories can be applied to the object — iPhone.
