In the closing chapters of Steven Johnson’s Interface Culture, the author asserts that as computers evolve, so does the way we interact with them. He proposes that the limiting factor is no longer what we can do with computers, but how we tell them to do it. Innovations like “windows”, keyboards, and a mouse are no longer sufficient considering the amount of things our computers are capable. Johnson specifically refers to “agents”, a type of artificial intelligence to assist in the menial tasks of everyday computing. The agent would watch your every computing move, and using statistics and web archives, it could learn your habits, your likes and dislikes. Agents would be able to take down your schedule, search the web, and send off your e-mail. Even as I write this, an agent program called Bonzi Buddy, is on my computer doing all these things. Like Johnson predicted, Bonzi Buddy was programmed to have human characteristics. It can tell jokes or ask trivia questions. There is even a special panel in which I can alter its personality. As Johnson talked about, in Interface Culture these agents are no longer simpler schedules and calculators, they are closer to butlers and secretaries. Now our computers are predicting our moves rather than the user having to tell the computer everything. Johnson’s main idea is that the next advancements in computers will be the way our data is inputted. He predicts that the next great leap in computing technology will be comparable to the jump from DOS to Windows. He predicts a change in how we control and input into our technology.
