Computer touchers - including and maybe especially systems people - need Need NEED the humanities so that we understand how the systems we build interact with actual humans

@ricci …which of course first needs computer-touchers to understand how the systems we build are interacted with by humans (and is why WE desperately need Need NEED to understand the humanities)

 
 
edit: I think I mis-read your toot as “we need people in the humanities to understand…” as opposed to what I think you meant which is “…we need (to understand) the humanities…” so I guess I’m basically just +1-ing your toot 🤪

@ricci edited my toot 🙃

@itgrrl oh yeah maybe it wasn't very clear

Well I'm planning a thread of suggested reading for systems computer touchers soon so maybe that will be more clear
