In you group, create a PowerPoint presentation.

ALIENS KNOW NOTHING. ( introducing the world to an infant, they want to know more and more
because they do not know anything).
Culture is much more difficult to connect to. You can describe the artifacts pretty easily but connecting
with the culture is much more difficult.
Everything around is made by people
People do not live in a bubble
People carry the marks of the people that came before them
These marks affect the way people going about life
This is being human
Computers are covered in the marks of being human. They are filled with humanness.
Next paper: We are going to look at an artifact, connect it to something in culture, and figure what the
design of that artifact has to do with the people that made it.
Artifact in the science and technology realm.
