A Definition of Interactivity
I believe that Interactivity is defined by how a human makes decisions in whatever medium is being displayed. The decisions can be anything but ultimately it is what the human decides to do and how the medium responds. The communication must be clear and both actors, whether it is two humans or a human and a computer, both makes decisions based on what the other does.

I think that it's not only important how the person makes their decisions, but how they communicate them back to the computer or other person.
ReplyDeleteI feel that your definition suggests more of a human action followed by just a reaction instead of a thought out response. At least that's what the first half sounds like. The second half does a better job but then when put together it feels like the definition is contradicting itself.
ReplyDeleteRE: Lindsay
ReplyDeleteYour absolutely right, but I think we are pretty much saying the same thing just worded differently.
RE: Thomas
In order for either person or computer to proceed with there decision, they must think about it. I thought that is what I said, but maybe I just wasn't clear.
