In class on Thursday we discussed the binary code of 0 and
1. I am not tech savvy in any way shape or form but it was fun to learn that that’s
all computers run on. Also, I think it’s so interesting that 0 is for absence
and 1 is for presence that that one is more than 0. Entailing that men are
better than woman in the computer world. I still find it so interesting that
the binary code is just like weaving. Also, the discussion about the best buy
thing blows my mind. I called my sister who is very tech savvy and into
computer games, and told her about our discussion. She couldn’t believe that
she had never noticed that appliances and certain gaming consoles are white. On
a side note now that’s what I am going to look at this weekend when I go to
Best Buy to get my Ipad fixed. Which got me thinking, is apple trying to say
something more than oh we have cool products that come in black and white? I
find it interesting that their most complex technologic items only come in
black or white. Do you think they are evening out the playing field by not
limiting the color choice between black and white? What are some other people’s
thoughts?
I honestly don't seem to believe in the whole 'technology has a specific color for men and women.' I believe that man can have a white iphone and a black stove and vise versa.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's really fascinating how that works out. I mean, obviously nobody got together and decided that technology targeted at women should be white and technology for men black, but it seems like an awful large coincidence. Perhaps kitchen appliances happened to end up being mostly white, and that lead to white technology being associated with women, who at the time, were expected to spend a lot of time in the kitchen? If so, did somebody somewhere think "Oh, it should be white! Like a refrigerator." and set a trend? Or did technology makers somewhat subconsciously make that association? Or, contrarily, is there some sort of functional reason why domestic technology should be white and certain other technology black that we’re not aware of?
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I thought it was interesting that the Wii and xBox were both released in white, but if you want an upgraded version of either console, it comes in black. What does that say I wonder?
