Human Experience of Computing videos
Please send us your "Human Experience of Computing" videos! We need to increase the visibility of our Kicksarter project to keep donations coming in, and you, our backers, can help! Take out your smart phone, your iPad, your webcam and record a quick 30-60 second video. You can record yourself, your neighbor, your child (imagine your darling child or grandchild trying to explain how a computer works, or why computers are important...) We have posted a sample Grady made to get you inspired and you can check back on our YouTube Channel to see the videos as they come in. http://www.youtube.com/user/ComputingTheHumanExp?blend=2&ob=5
Help us fill our YouTube channel with inspiring stories from all of you!
- Talk about how your world has been changed by computing.
- Talk about how YOU have been changed by computing.
- Talk about your first memories of computing (for some of us that goes back to the days of raised floors and huge, noisy machines!)
- Talk about your hopes for your children in this digital world we live in.
- Let your children talk about computers.
- Interview your neighbors, your parents, your friends.
