How do you “talk” to the machine in a way that it will understand, and how do you interpret its response to you? Many principles of how we interact with computers are so familiar to us that we don’t stop to think how they came to be that way. In this class, we’ll discuss this history of how people have adapted themselves to these “thinking machines,” learn about many of the innovators who defined how we interact with computers today, and explore how over time we’ve changed the way computers work so they better meet our needs.
