Overview

John Dewey once wrote, “Every experience is the result of an interaction between a live creature and some aspect of the world in which he lives.” How we interact in the world, then, is not just the context for technology, it is the material. What is known about how we interact? And more, what is assumed and unwritten? What are the rules? This is the investigation to be undertaken as preparation for thesis.
