Assignment due September 27 before class: use the switch that you built (or a new one you created) to control an LED on your breadboard with a microcontroller.

Read Ch 1, A History of Interaction from “Where the Action is” by Paul Dourish. Dourish writes about a history of embodied interaction. He defines two separate threads that lead to this: social and tangible computing. How do you understand these terms based on the reading? Do you agree with his definitions? Do you think there are other kinds of computing he is ignoring? Write about this in your class journal.
