Advances in interfaces—the physical way we react with computers—and other techniques of controlling computers will supplement the role of the traditional keyboard and mouse. Technologies in development include surfaces that allow fingertip control of on-screen objects and devices that sense—and react to—movement.
But we should assess human-computer interaction (HCI)to ensure that we retain control of key decision-making processes, one report suggests.
Display technologies will soon allow us to fix screens of all sizes in a variety of fabrics. In the near future we will still be reading paper books and magazines: but we’ll also be using paper-like digital screens to distribute content.
Cheap and easily-accessed digital storage allows consumers to electronically record and store more aspects of our lives—allowing us to share information and interact with people across the globe. This hyper-connectivity liberates us from fixed telephone lines, desks and offices, while advances in robotics develop the computer’s ability to learn and make decisions.
" New computing technology is tremendously exciting, " said Tom Rodden, Professor at the University of Nottingham. " But the interaction between humans and computers is evolving into a complex ecosystem where small changes can have far-reaching consequences. While new interfaces and hyper-connectivity mean we are increasingly mobile, we can see that they are obscuring the line between work and personal space. "
"Huge storage capabilities raise fundamental privacy issues around what we should be recording and what we should not. The potential of machine learning might well result in computers increasingly making decisions on our behalf. It is
imperative
that we combine technological innovations with an understanding of their impact on people. "
The report argues that without proper monitoring and assessment it is possible that we may no longer be in control of ourselves or the world around us. This potentially places the computer on a collision course with basic human values and concepts such as personal space, society, identity, independence, perception, intelligence and privacy.
The report gives recommendations for the HCI community to adopt to ensure that human values inform future development. These include educating young people so that they understand HCI and the impact of computer advances early on and engaging with governments, policy-makers and society as a whole to provide counsel and give advance warning of the emerging implications of new computing ecosystems.
" Computing has the potential to enhance the lives of billions of people around the world. We believe that if technology is to truly bring benefit to humanity, then human values and the impact of technology must be considered at the earliest possible opportunity in the technology design process, " said Abigail Sellen. one of the editors of the report.
When left unmonitored, technological innovations may bring about
选项
A、collision in human society.
B、decrease in working efficiency.
C、threat to human values.
D、poorer governmental administration.
答案
C
解析
句意:如果缺乏监督,技术创新可能会带来何种影响?根据第七段第1-2句“The report argues that without proper monitoring and assessment…This potentially places the computer on a collision course with basic human values and concepts such as…”可知如果没有恰当的监督和评估,我们可能将无法控制自己,或者无法控制我们周围的世界。这一论断将计算机置于与基本的人类价值观和诸如个人空间、社会、身份、独立、感知、智力和隐私等概念相抵触的境地。由此推断,缺乏监督的技术创新将威胁人类价值。故选C。
