(2016): Reply to My Interlocutors. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 20 (2), S. 168-176. DOI: 10.5840/techne201672855
Abstract: “Reply to My Interlocutors” responds to each contributor, not in order in the text, but in order of issues. Each interlocutor deals with important issues and I situate myself in relation to these. Dealing with Husserl from a twenty-first century position has called for a multiple layered time response, since I find much of his philosophy of science highly outdated. The origins of the various chapters take place over several decades of time.

(1999): Are People Polite to Computers?. Responses to Computer-Based Interviewing Systems1. In: Journal of Applied Social Psychology 29 (5), S. 1093-1109. DOI: 10.1111/j.1559-1816.1999.tb00142.x
Abstract: The present sturlies were designed to test whether people are "polite" to computers. Among people, an interviewer who directly asks about him- or herselfwill receive more positive and less varied responses than ifthe same question is posed by a third party. Two sturlies were designed to determine if the same phenomenon occurs in human--computer interaction. In the first study (N = 30), participants performed a task with a text-based computer and were then interviewed about the performance ofthat computer on I of 3 loci: (a) the same computer, (b) a paper-and-pencil questionnaire, or (c) a different (but identical) text-based computer. Consistent with the politeness prediction, same-computer participants evaluated the computer more positively and more homogeneously than did either paper-and-pencil or different-computer participants. Study 2 (N = 30) replicated the results with voice-based computers. lmplications for computer-based interviewing are dis- cussed.

(1996): The media equation. How people treat computers, television, and new media like real people and places. s.l.: CSLI Publications
Abstract: According to popular wisdom, humans never relate to a computer or a television program in the same way they relate to another human being. Or do they? The psychological and sociological complexities of the relationship could be greater than you think. In an extraordinary revision of received wisdom, Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass demonstrate convincingly in The Media Equation that interactions with computers, television, and new communication technologies are identical to real social relationships and to the navigation of real physical spaces. Using everyday language, the authors explain their novel ideas in a way that will engage general readers with an interest in cutting-edge research at the intersection of psychology, communication and computer technology. The result is an accessible summary of exciting ideas for modern times. As Bill Gates says, '(they) … have shown us some amazing things'.

(1973): This Cybernetic World of Men, Machines and Earth Systems. In: Technology and Culture 14 (2). DOI: 10.2307/3102426
Abstract: Professional interests in systems and cybernetics now encompass a wide range of disciplines and activities, including some that appear to be only distantly related to each other. This gives the field a multidisciplinary character that is like a breath of fresh air in a world that is too specialized for its own good. As proposed by its founder, Norbert Wiener, cybernetics is the science of control and of information, whether applied to the living world or to the inanimate machine . It has come to represent a quite general search for relationships among phenomena. Some people distinguish the term cybernetics from what is called general systems theory, but all too often the distinctions seem to be more superficial than real. Most publications on cybernetics that followed Professor Wiener’s beautiful exposition have tended to emphasize highly specialized aspects of the field. The present volume is designed to present a broader view of the subject, to be read by laymen as well as by professionals, since there is no need to hide the common sense and beauty of the subject behind equations. My hope is that readers will find the treatment understandable and sufficiently exciting to encourage the use of the “cybernetic approach,” whatever that may turn out to be, for their own way of life and thought.

: Men, Machine, and Modern Times. 50th Anniversary Edition. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press
Abstract: Men, Machines, and Modern Times, though ultimately concerned with a positive alternative to an Orwellian 1984, offers an entertaining series of historical accounts taken from the nineteenth century to highlight a main theme: the nature of technological change, the fission brought about in society by such change, and society's reaction to that change. Beginning with a remarkable illustration of resistance to innovation in the U.S. Navy following an officer's discovery of a more accurate way to fire a gun at sea, Elting Morison goes on to narrate the strange history of the new model steamship, the Wapanoag, in the 1860s. He then continues with the difficulties confronting the introduction of the pasteurization process for milk; he traces the development of the Bessemer process; and finally, he considers the computer. While the discussions are liberally sprinkled with amusing examples and anecdotes, all are related to the more profound and current problem of how to organize and manage system of ideas, energies, and machinery so that it will conform to the human dimension. People have had trouble adapting to new technology ever since (perhaps) the inventor of the wheel had to explain that a wheelbarrow could carry more than a person. This little book by a celebrated MIT professor—the fiftieth anniversary edition of a classic—describes how we learn to live and work with innovation. Elting Morison considers, among other things, the three stages of users' resistance to change: ignoring it; rational rebuttal; and name-calling. He recounts the illustrative anecdote of the World War II artillerymen who stood still to hold the horses despite the fact that the guns were now hitched to trucks—reassuring those of us who have trouble with a new interface or a software upgrade that we are not the first to encounter such problems. Morison offers an entertaining series of historical accounts to highlight his major theme: the nature of technological change and society's reaction to that change. He begins with resistance to innovation in the U.S. Navy following an officer's discovery of a more accurate way to fire a gun at sea; continues with thoughts about bureaucracy, paperwork, and card files; touches on rumble seats, the ghost in Hamlet, and computers; tells the strange history of a new model steamship in the 1860s; and describes the development of the Bessemer steel process. Each instance teaches a lesson about the more profound and current problem of how to organize and manage systems of ideas, energies, and machinery so that it will conform to the human dimension.
