[Air-l] suggestions?

[Denise N. Rall]

Well done, Christian!

Hope to see you at an AoIR conference soon.

It did occur to me (despite "talking too much") that
the disease model functions more sufficiently when the
device is perceived as human or human-like.

Reeves, B. and C. Nass (1996). The media equation: How
people treat computers, television, and new media like
real people and places. Cambridge, MA, CLSI
Publications, Cambridge University Press.

I feel sure that Nass/Reeves has said something about
this more recently.
	
There was some research on telephone addiction but now
I can't find it. Here's one on television:
Sundar, L. and S. Sundar (2002). "Television addiction
- is no mere metaphor." Scientific American February.

refers to paper:
Lang, A. (2000). "The limited capacity model of
mediated message processing." Journal of Communication
50(1): 46-70.
	
Cheers, Denise
