Interface

    
     To begin with, first we should look at the concept that interface passes to us.  There are many perspectives that interface could work on. Basically, what the concept that interface focuses on is the communication. In terms of media, it can be used whether in"old" media or "new" media, but the concept behind is quite in common use. The reason for that is because the ideology of interface creates a kind of atmosphere which relates to people's culture, and also at the same time brings power.
     When I search the definition of interface, there is a sentence that I find on Wikipedia attracts my attention. It says:"Interface is the communication between computer and user by means of peripheral devices such a monitor or a keyboard, ... , and any other point of communication involving a computer." Therefore, we could notice that the main concept of interface is communication, thats why it could be used both in old and new media. For the old media, which refers to magazines and newspapers,the interface is the communication between those papers and the reader. As thus, the difference between old and new media, specifically in terms of interface is that they have different media platform to represent their ideas and to set up their communications.
      The ideology of interface is cultural, which means it changes with the development of our society. The culture of our society is quite equal to the habits of our society, it influences the direction of how people think about things, therefore, it obviously effects interface. For example, we were used magazines and newspapers to explore our ideas, at that time, the question we concentrated on is the interface between magazines and readers. However, in nowadays society, our culture changes, the media we use is not only newspapers and magazines, digital media come to our sight. Thereby, our habits change with the culture,now what we focus on is those digital media, and the interface becomes the communication between computers and users. Even though, no matter what direction our society gonna develop, the ideology of interface would not change, and it also comes with power. The power that ideology brings to us influences our society as well. The power of interface forces us to concentrate on what is popular in our society, as thus, it kind of helping the development of our society.As far as we see, the relationship between our society and interface is interaction.

    





      The Video that I pose is about digital media interface system. As the video shows, our society develops to the digital age. Hence, it interacts the interface. As we see from the video, no matter what reaction we do, computer could receive the signal and show from the screen. The interface becomes the communication between our digital media and user. Moreover, it develops as the unit of system, which is better for its development.
     As more as we focus on, we could see that the main concept of interface is about communication.And the way how it holds its communication is interacting with the development of our society. But what remains is its ideology which is cultural and always comes with power.
