Cybernetics Week 4

When I watched the video I didn’t understand the term cybernetics. After watching it, I learned that it can be applied to interaction design. But first I needed a clear definition of what cybernetics was. So I googled, “cybernetics definition” and according to google it is “the science of communications and automatic control systems in both machines and living things.”. After reading the definition it makes sense because Paul Pangoro was explaining about the feedback systems received and the actions it does when it receives that feedback. Later on he talks about interaction design and he used his iphone as an example. He explained how when we see the notifications we automatically look to see what it is and then open our phones or we just tap on it or click the button to turn it is another form of interacting. I find it fascinating because he goes in depth into the choices that are applied in many things, such as websites ,apps, other forms of technology.
