notes:
- tom said that all computing is physical, and that this course will help people understand how a computer works.
- his research inclination (for this course) is to see how we can better (physical interaction with) an everyday object.
- understood how a breadboard works; some things about electricity and electrical components.
- discussed about the design of implicit interactions, wendy ju & larry leifer, that machines must have fast-feedback, and that nothing is intuitive, everything is learned.
- made me wonder about is it is our duty to make people notice things?, making things that invite people to play, and whether a perfect flushing mechanism could ever be produced. .
