From PART1 you can learn about the story of Ada Lovelace (Ada Lovelace is known as the
first computer programmer for her work on Babbage’s Analytical Engine) and Charles
Babbage. This is not only the early history of computer science, but also the first
exploration of computer science. Modern computing and programming concepts.
Lovelace’s work, especially her anticipation of modern programming constructs such as
loops and if-then statements in translating and annotating Menabrea’s paper, was not
only a historical knowledge for me as a student in a computer science course, but also a
deeper understanding of the language. The feeling is in the code.
Lillian Gilbreth Her work influenced the efficiency and human aspects of systems and
processes. She was also an important figure in the fields of industrial psychology and
industrial engineering, and her multifaceted career combined psychology with scientific
management and engineering. This concept was introduced by her at the Dartmouth
College Scientific Management Conference in 1911. This is crucial for designing
user-friendly and effective interactive systems. (This is something I admire very much.
Being able to combine different professions is one of the important reasons why I study
interaction design). In her work, she helps industrial engineers realize the importance of
the psychological dimension in their work.
The work and ideas of these two designers have not only had a profound impact on technology
and design, but I personally think that they have transcended the boundaries of technology and
clearly and deeply understood the needs of users, thereby creating more innovative and practical
products. Design solutions. This is very similar to the JTBD theory we learned in the “Design
Research” course, which is very pioneering.
