In the past few years a branch of sociology, conversation analysis, has begun to have a significant impact on the design of human*b1computer interaction (HCI). The investigation of human*b1human dialogue has emerged as a fruitful foundation for interactive system design.****This book includes eleven original chapters by leading researchers who are applying conversation analysis to HCI. The fundamentals of conversation analysis are outlined, a number of systems are described, and a critical view of their value for HCI is offered.****Computers and Conversation will be of interest to all concerned with HCI issues--from the advanced student to the professional computer scientist involved in the design and specification of interactive systems.

Our society today depends completely on computers. Large computer systems, used by banks, companies and government agencies, arrived first. They were followed by microprocessors, which appeared in the 1970s and led to the development of inexpensive personal computers. Those computers can now be found in almost every office and more than 30% of all American Homes. Microprocessors also have become a design element for many objects we use daily, ranging from household appliances over autos to devices for communication and entertainment. Few people are aware, how much we depend on computers; fewer still understand how computers work. Most people know, however, that the computer world consists of two parts: Hardware and Software. Hardware is easy to understand, because it is always some kind of box, with a TV-like screen and, usually, a keyboard. Computer software is different. If one buys software, one gets a box that is almost empty but for a silvery disk, like the ones that have replaced phonograph records for playing music. If one is lucky, the box also contains some cheap paperbacks, which purport to explain how to use the program for which one just shelled out lots of money. One often wonders why the software hawkers charge such outrageous prices for this stuff. Computer software has always been surrounded by a certain mystique. It is no wonder that the people who create it are often considered a bit strange. It takes a special kind of person to spend hours at a time in front of a computer screen, trying to make the machine do something, and trying to figure out why it does not do what it has been told. One needs attention to detail, perfectionism, and complete concentration to create software. The same kinds of tense young men, who once were found in the scriptoriums of medieval monasteries, debating at length how many angels could dance on the head of a pin, now reside in the cubicles of the software companies, where they debate, with equal zeal, obscure problems of the software trade. They are joined by intelligent young women, who sometimes are equally competitive. It is difficult for programmers to explain to other people what they are really doing, and they often have the reputation of being socially inept. Outsiders sometimes refer to programmers by the term "geeks", a word originally reserved for performers in carnival sideshows. The images of leaders of software empires on TV show that software people are, indeed, different from other industrialists. It was not until recently that software and its problems have attracted the attention of the public, and have even created headlines in the news media. Reports on the progress of the antitrust suit against the Microsoft Corporation may have been limited to the business sections of the newspapers. Widespread power failures due to software problems, however, were reported nationally. The Y2K problem has made the front page of serious newspapers and tabloids. The Y2K problem is only a software bug -- but some people predict it will ruin the world economy, cause widespread turmoil and may even herald the end of the world! Before we dig in, buy supplies and prepare for an Armageddon, it may be good to first seek to understand what software, its problems, and the Y2K bug are all about. This book was written by an engineer who started designing electronic instruments with tubes, transistors and integrated circuits. Then the microprocessor was invented, electronic engineering changed, and the writer designed instruments with microprocessors, keypads, digital displays and printers. Finally the writer became a software engineer and designed software for electronic equipment and military systems for more than 15 years. The book begins with a brief introduction to the building blocks of the computer, and shows how the software interacts with them. It continues with the basic elements of computer programming, using an example every

Your life is dominated by your unconscious mind: by thoughts you're unaware of and movements you don't realise you are making. Words, colours, mannerisms and other cues you don't realise are affecting you, change what you think. The confidence you have in your ability to reason and to consciously choose what to do is caused by a series of illusions that scientists are only just beginning to understand. The discovery of these illusions will change the way we see ourselves more than the discoveries of Darwin and Copernicus. Unthink explores the unconscious decisions we make, and covers a variety of topics, ranging from how we choose politicians and romantic partners to more abstract subjects such as whether we can consciously decide to move our fingers. The counter-intuitive observations that Chris makes in the book include: · If you want someone to fancy you, wear red and meet them somewhere frightening. · When waitresses repeat customers' orders back to them instead of just saying 'yes' they receive bigger tips. · To reduce your shopping bill, start at the beer and snacks end of the store and work backwards. · If you sit someone in an upright chair when you give them good news they will be prouder of their achievements. · Having a picture of your family on your desk might make you work harder, but you'll be rattier when you get home! Chris Paley shows us how we can understand ourselves and others better, by having a greater understanding of the way that the unconscious mind has an impact of the way we live our lives.

At a time when it's harder than ever to get and keep people's attention, we could all use some help. Enter Sonya Hamlin, author of the now classic How to Talk So People Listen (1988), and one of the country's leading communication experts. In this revised and updated edition, Sonya Hamlin, arguably America's leading communication expert, shows us how to successfully capture people's attention so that they listen, understand, and are persuaded by your message –– especially in the plugged–in, fast–paced, visually–driven atmosphere that is today's workplace. Whether making a presentation to a large audience or dealing one–on–one with a client or colleague, or communicating by E–mail, Hamlin teaches us that one of the keys to making people listen is to think about and respond to what motivates them – namely, self–interest. She then provides tools to assess others' self–interest and use it to get them to listen to your message. Hamlin also explains how to capitalize on the latest visual aids we have at our disposal today. We learn to determine what information needs or lends itself to visual presentation, and how to make visuals active, so that they serve as an extension of the speaker. In How To Talk So People Listen, you'll also find practical information on how to understand your audience, how to encourage your listeners to trust you, and how to be yourself when you're on the podium.

Talk, Text and Technology is an ethnography of language, learning and literacy in remote Indigenous Australia. This study traces one Indigenous group from the introduction of alphabetic literacy in the 1930s to the recent arrival of digital literacies and new media. This innovative work examines changing social, cultural and linguistic practices across the generations and addresses the implications for language and literacy socialisation.
