The Facebook study wasn't controversial because of what it showed. It was controversial because Facebook didn't even do a minimum of ethical approval. Participants did not consent to a study (at least not knowingly). So while it was legal (because the law doesn't care about whether you are aware of what you agree to) it was definitely not ethical. TL;DR: The FB study would have had the researcher kicked out of any accredited school anywhere for ethical violations.
treymedley would it have been perfectly ethical for facebook to have done those same things to people without trying to understand what they were doing?
treymedley Although it may have been unethical it's not as unethical as the Tuskegee experiments for one example of real unethical experimentation. Also observation bias might have tainted participant posts because they're unconsciously altering their posts because they their activity will be monitored by the researchers. If anything this study has more external validity than most ethically conducted social media studies because of this fact. If you don't believe you're being studied you act naturally it doesn't take a masters in psychology to understand that. Social media is the ultimate tool for social manipulation, that and it's a profitable business since users aren't your customers; advertisers buying access to personal data is more unethical and yet it's legal. Despite this being public knowledge major segments of society still use facebook like the mindless sheep they are. Buying the brands they're coerced into thinking they chose to buy on their own and the same can be said about their changing views on social/political issues. You think you chose your values but they're the result of selective exposure to a mix of outrageous stories that de-legitimize one side of an issue while being exposed to equally provocative stories that frame the alternate side of the issue in a positive light or as the victim of the other side. But this isn't unethical, it's facebook's primary business model. Paranoia doesn't mean someone is crazy, paranoid people only appear crazy if they're wrong. Question everything. Irrefutable evidence exists but lots of "evidence" is hidden only to be revealed by whistle blowers or anonymous individuals who have their own motives for revealing truth. Questioning the legitimacy of the FB study because of a lack of consent is noble in theory but it's also a great way to ignore the important fact that it reveals about human behaviour: many ideas we think we mad won our own may be the result of manipulation designed to make us think we're the ones making our own choices and that we're too smart to be manipulated.
treymedley TLDR: Hubris is an intellectual exploit that can be used to inject and/or promote whatever idea/behaviour the manipulator desires. The FB study may not have followed proper procedure they didn't compromise the collected data, so don't ignore the conclusion.
Relevant anecdote: I once took a uni course on professional writing for grant proposals, and one of our projects was to basically write an actual grant proposal for whatever field we were studying. As a comp sci major, I went with the idea of using pathfinding algorithms to optimize dynamic workflow layouts in software suites with the goal of enhancing usability and productivity. (Translation: having windows and panels optimally rearrange themselves when you open and close them to maintain your preferred layout without creating overlap for you to have to deal with.) Little did I know that my writing professor had studied human-computer interaction back when she was at uni, and she loved the idea! I didn't consider it a worthwhile goal, since I was just trying to pass the course (and honestly, I'm not so sure it was actually a good idea), so I never sent the proposal out to anyone. I do occasionally wonder if anyone would fund that research, though; I don't have more than the basic programmer's experience with HCI, though, to really know for sure.
I have recently finished a instruction to HCI (human computer interaction) in my degree. In this video, it did mention, areas I've been tought, a good video from crash course.
I thought the Facebook study was controversial because they didn't have consent to experiment on the users in the first place. Not telling your subjects that they are participating in an expirement is preaty unethical.
Very nice subject ! There is a lot more in Donald Norman books about Human interactions with interface, he spoke a lot about errors prevention. For eg, imagine you have a form to fill. Rather than let the user badly fill it and sent it and then send it back on the form page if it has a missing field, prevent sending if there is empty fields. Prevent filling with erroneous data in a first place. This is way less frustrating for the user... and safer ! :P For the door example, Don explained that door which are on the street should open to the outside, so that people can escape fire inside the building faster and without having to think. Good error preventions can save lives :P Very good reading I recommend !
Modern GUIs have generally gotten pretty crappy affordances with the rise of minimalism. Buttons no longer have rectangular beveled outlines and even regular looking text elements often offer some interaction. Often times the only way to know if an element is interactive or not is to try to interact with it.
Part of that is because we as users are becoming more accumulated to computers and so don't need as many affordances. The red "X" at the top of my browser is no longer red nor does it look like a button. However, since I've used so many programs for so long, I don't need those affordances and understand how it works.
Sure, adults/teenagers who have used computers for a decade have that experience to rely on, but still need to try it out with clickable text elements like the door that has the same style handle on both sides. For kids its worse though, they didn't grow up with all the affordances turned on and I see them "pushing a door that you need to pull" in a ton of situations that are clear to me because the GUI used to inform what actions you could take. A worse interface is not an issue for those who already are experts, it's a barrier to become an expert.
Don Norman would call virtual buttons having the appearance of real buttons a signifier - he now uses "affordances" for something more specific (I think that virtual buttons can be clicked, even when it doesn't look like it can, would be one example).
Exactly! An affordance is a "can" relation between a user and an object ("I can drag this to change its size"). A signifier signifies the affordance, but isn't necessary to be able to afford it.
I hate looking people in the eye. Most people say they are uncomfortable around me because I don't look at them. It makes me a mutual gaze failure. I find it intrusive - I want to give others their privacy and feel ashamed to interfere in their lives.

The discussion of gaze made me think: are you going to cover adaptive technology? As an educator I have to think about the blind, for instance, when designing online learning.
I believe the only emotional influence a computer should have is to help you know how it works and nothing beyond that. It is a tool to use, not a tool that uses you.
"A good interface once you gain experience is one that offers multiple paths to accomplish the same task." Reminds me of a job I once wasn't hired for: I had an online skills test for Quickbooks and I guess I didn't use the normal path the online test expected me to use to accomplish the ask.
"Delete? Remove? Trash?" You know what, command line interfaces are still common, used even by non-technical people, in the form of bots in chat rooms. These bots do various things, some for fun (eg. !roll -> rolls a dice), some have a practical use (eg. !faq shows some commonly asked questions of a software). Even it's simple as that, there can still be design choices that improve usability - the easiest one being allowing aliases (i.e. alternative names or spellings) of commands. I can make my bot delete something if you type "delete", and I can make it do the same if you type "del" "remove" as well. It'd be very annoying to fail to see your !coins for five minutes only to know the correct command is !coin .
I agree with the enjoyment, but I don't personally want to do it for a living. I'll stick to just the programming side of things :) But if you really want to combine the two fields in your career, you can get into UX design or human-computer interaction research :)
I can tell you one thing about Facebook though. seeing "Ad coming soon" when I'm passing by a video, make's me immediately close facebook, and absolutely mad...
I wish the developers of ANSYS workbench would watch this. It's a piece of software used for various types of computer simulation. It combined several different pieces of software. The user interface changes constantly from product to product. Even things like which mouse button you use to click drag to rotate the view constantly changes. It's so bad.
Poor usability = every Apple product ever. Just yesterday I discovered with my rarely used iPad that I can't just copy a single file from my PC to the iPad without using iTunes to sync files over. But I no longer have the computer where I did the first sync, so it would delete all the files on my iPad if I tried to do a sync now. That is effectively an unusable device. And I have a whole litany of equally disastrous experiences with Apple products. How is this such a big company with such a popular following when their devices are basically unusable? *boggle*
Apple optimizes for the most common use cases entirely within their ecosystem, and nothing else. I imagine that as long as you buy into their ecosystem fully and stay on their rails, everything seems great and they optimize the hell out of it. I had the displeasure to have to use a mac to do software development once and I couldn't believe how terrible it was. All the seams start to show immediately as soon as you go outside of the normal happy path that my mom would use it for. Like you, I still have no idea what the hell their appeal is.
The thing about Apple is that they want their customers to use only Apple products most of the time so the PC iOS or Android macOS interactions are made a tad more complicated. If you were to use a Mac and an iPhone then the file transfer is rather easy, just open AirDrop and drop the file there.
i have seen basic to understand doors say push or pull on them i think people just dont know how to use doors thx for this interestingly ha bisky vid i loved this a lot and even with automatic doors you can sometimes push them or pull them so they still have directions on them
I think that multiple paths can slow down the gaining of expertise. Disconnecting your mouse while using vim will force you to learn effective commands quicker. Really important commands, like ctrl+{Z,C,V} in windows standard, shouldn't exist as menu items, because it enables people to keep wasting their time.
hmm, it still seems possible? But I think there's a big opportunity for misclicks. The big reason windows 8 was hated is because getting your mouse anywhere near boarders just started to make stuff happen, when you didn't want it to.
How does the bit about eye contact apply to Asian societies though? In many Asian countries direct eye contact is seen as being rude, like you're confronting the person and ready to fight them.
Hmmm.... The mutual gaze thing is definitely valid. As someone with ADHD it definitely makes a difference if the speaker in a video is addressing the camera, though I've never thought about it before this.
Not directly related to the topic. Mention should be made of the psychology of programming. I just want to mention an interesting book worth reading if you are thinking of becoming a programmer. "The Psychology of Computer Programming" by Gerald M Weinberg. It is dated in many ways but the insights on what makes programmers tick and the common management issues still seems relevant.
As for humans treating robots as if they are human and getting mad when they break social norms; we already have a built in solution to this, pets. If the robots seem more like intelligent pets (they are small, they are kind of cute, and they talk in simple sentences) then we will likely give them more leeway. When my dog steps on my foot and doesn't apologize I'm upset, but not as upset if my wife did it.
The argument that people reveal more personal information in a Computer-mediated communication is a flawed conclusion (or interpretation) of the research. When people use CMC they have to use more detailed emotions (emojis, voice modulation, and turn-taking) as compared to a face-to-face interaction where the information is richer in quality (you could get more information of body cues, clearer facial expression, and contextual information).
Since about 95% of posts are mere reposts, is it really surprising that supplying negative posts results in more negative posts? I expect that this has nothing to do with altering the users' behaviors.
One thing Humans can do that computer can't is lie. And to a point where they lie to themselves. Humans can deny the existence of an object say a hat. However that leaves a logical gap. If the hat is not a hat then what is it. In which the human can superimpose it as a plant. And like that a human has turned a hat into a plant. Something both computers, and animals can't do.
Any science or computer themed book suggestions for an 11 year old who is really into all things Science and Technology? I was thinking something from Carl Sagan or Nick Bostrom but I'm not sure if they are going to be over her head...
Well, there is Carl Sagan's novel "Contact". Not so much science, but it includes other issues that might come up if we discover that we're not alone in the Universe.
Telephone numbers of the Public Switched Telephone Network were not invented to be in chunks for our memory. They are a combination of Area + Exchange + Trunk + Line. The primary consideration was not memorability - it was clarity when spoke, the way we say "charlie, bravo, sierra" back when switchboards were operated by an operator. Exchange names were alphanumberic (my family's number was "Bixby" for 14) on the keypad, and area codes were assigned based on time it took to dial on a rotary phone, with Los Angeles (213), New York (212) and Chicago (312) getting the fastest numbers to call. The area code was grouped by function (you didn't need to call it if you were on the same exchange, not as a memory tool.
I wish YOU the host of most scishow space videos than the girl who IS, your voice actually carries intellect and confidence in sharing it. Space girl just... feels like I'm listening to an overly excited but poorly informed 9th grade science fair contestant.
A trash can or recycle bin as a place to put files to be deleted. Yet so many users get mad when the files in there are deleted, because that's where they were saving their important documents... x_x
If I ever had a client who was saving important documents in their recycle bin, I'd give them a full refund and fire myself from their job. I don't have the patience to work with people like that.
Nature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times through evolutionary processes.😢 😢 😢
Multiple choice easier than fill in the blank? What university did you go to? Multiple choice are often considered the hardest type of question (excluding things like essay questions) because they are often designed to trick you, or at least cause you to "recognise" multiple answers, and second guess.
Interesting map re. the light to dark recognition example - looks a strategy for Democrats might to be to smuggle vegetables in to red states (or Republicans to steal them from blue states though that sounds harder...)
This course has grown to be one of the best crash courses ever, IMHO.
Code is also an interface and if you write code, be kind to those who will read it, including your future self.
Comment. And if you name all your variables "a", "b", "c", "something", "anotherThing", etc., you're fired.
Also people who never comment anything should be banned.
I am doing a major in psychology and artificial intelligence. This was some good information
That's interesting. Can u pass some wisdom to me lol

There are non-apple software that solve this problem. iTunes is possibly the worst of the programs that offer iTunes' functionality.
I don't like Apple, either, but in your case, the work-around is to use a third-party app like CopyTrans to do your sync.
The thing about Apple is that they want their customers to use only Apple products most of the time so the PC iOS or Android macOS interactions are made a tad more complicated. If you were to use a Mac and an iPhone then the file transfer is rather easy, just open AirDrop and drop the file there.

I think that multiple paths can slow down the gaining of expertise. Disconnecting your mouse while using vim will force you to learn effective commands quicker.
Really important commands, like ctrl+{Z,C,V} in windows standard, shouldn't exist as menu items, because it enables people to keep wasting their time.
hmm, it still seems possible? But I think there's a big opportunity for misclicks. The big reason windows 8 was hated is because getting your mouse anywhere near boarders just started to make stuff happen, when you didn't want it to.

The argument that people reveal more personal information in a Computer-mediated communication is a flawed conclusion (or interpretation) of the research. When people use CMC they have to use more detailed emotions (emojis, voice modulation, and turn-taking) as compared to a face-to-face interaction where the information is richer in quality (you could get more information of body cues, clearer facial expression, and contextual information).
I think they were talking about the *content* of the things that are revealed, not the emotionality of the presentation.

Exchange names were alphanumberic (my family's number was "Bixby" for 14) on the keypad, and area codes were assigned based on time it took to dial on a rotary phone, with Los Angeles (213), New York (212) and Chicago (312) getting the fastest numbers to call. The area code was grouped by function (you didn't need to call it if you were on the same exchange, not as a memory tool.
The best part was with the guy skyping in his rose petal bathtub.
it's "affect" with the accent on the first syllable

I wish YOU the host of most scishow space videos than the girl who IS, your voice actually carries intellect and confidence in sharing it. Space girl just... feels like I'm listening to an overly excited but poorly informed 9th grade science fair contestant.
I felt I saw the Avengers when the Green brothers showed up 😆
A trash can or recycle bin as a place to put files to be deleted. Yet so many users get mad when the files in there are deleted, because that's where they were saving their important documents... x_x
If I ever had a client who was saving important documents in their recycle bin, I'd give them a full refund and fire myself from their job. I don't have the patience to work with people like that.
Wait a minute, am i colorblind or this circle is definitely purple?

To error is human. git use to it .
Is it just me or should there be more operator training involved in this technology revolution instead of making "miracles" a moron can use?
The man who doesn't exist ^^ (;)
Anyone else think that the Zork screengrab was a subtle Ready Player One reference?
Nature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times through evolutionary processes.😢 😢 😢
Apparently YT comments do not support any line breaks anymore. Leaving no space after the . makes me look like a moron, unable to write properly.

Don't you mean "rubbish bin"?
"So badly design that you just gave up" - So anything on linux or within the Microsoft office suite of programs.
Multiple choice easier than fill in the blank? What university did you go to? Multiple choice are often considered the hardest type of question (excluding things like essay questions) because they are often designed to trick you, or at least cause you to "recognise" multiple answers, and second guess.

Interesting map re. the light to dark recognition example - looks a strategy for Democrats might to be to smuggle vegetables in to red states (or Republicans to steal them from blue states though that sounds harder...)
What? Social sciences are useful to STEM fields and shouldn’t be thrown out or dismissed?!?! Color me surprised.
Yeah this works for the west...what about the east?
