Brenda Laurel’s approach to computing is very classical. Laurel believes that the key to understanding computer interaction is found in Aristotle’s Poetics.” Her most important idea is that the computer can and should be studied from a “humanistic perspective” using models from other art forms. Laurel believes that computer interaction can create new forms of drama, and that for this to occur, control of technology has to be given to human beings. I thought that it was very interesting how Laurel remained closely engaged with Aristotle’s works throughout her “The Six Elements and the Causal Relations Among Them.” “Star Raiders: Dramatic Interaction in a Small World” was interesting because of the attention it paid to connecting drama and computers.
