Ever since the first successful International Cognitive Technology
(CT) Conference in Hong Kong in August 1995, a growing concern
about the dehumanising potential of machines, and the machining
potential of the human mind, has pervaded the organisers' thinking.
When setting up the agenda for the Second International CT
Conference in Aizu, Japan, in August of 1997, they were aware that
a number of new approaches had seen the light, but that the need to
integrate them within a human framework had become more urgent than
ever, due to the accelerating pace of technological and
commercialised developments in the computer related fields of
industry and research
What the present book does is re-emphasize the importance of the
'human factor' - not as something that we should 'also' take into
account, when doing technology, but as the primary driving force
and supreme aim of our technological endeavours. Machining the
human should not happen, but humanising the machine should. "La
Humacha" should replace the "Hemachine" in our thinking about these
matters.
