Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. http://www.shearonforschools.com/media_equation.htm I actually heard Dr. Nass present on this book a national meeting of CLE planners. Fascinating. The title really says it all. Drs. Reeves and Nass have done numerous social psychology experiments which were originally done with two persons, and substituted some electronic medium (often a computer), for one of the individuals. For example, in the "flattery effect", experiments have shown that subjects will rate folks providing assistance higher in knowledge, helpfulness, etc. if the assisters praise the subjects, even if the subjects know the praise isn't based on real knowledge and is just being "practiced." Replace the assisters with computers running a program and exactly the same phenomenon occurs. Much of this book tries to point the way to how companies can use this knowledge to better design computer and other technology products. The implications for Computer Assisted Instruction and Distance Learning applications are obvious. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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. Authors Reeves and Nass present the results of numerous psychological studies that led them to the conclusion that people treat computers, television and new media as real people and places.

Particularly interesting are the summaries and implications of the various chapters - although you will notice that some of the chapters contradict themselves: psychologists chop their experiments into little bits and try to isolate certain factors. Sadly people don't work like that, and so there are some contradictions that they highlight and come from that.
There's a couple of bits where I don't trust the conclusions too, but by and large it's compelling and interesting. ( )
