Hello

My name is Alex Dodge. I am taking COGS 120 at UCSD, and this is my class blog. I'm a second year Cognitive Science student, and this is my first real Cogsci class.

I'm looking forward to the class, as computer interfaces are what first got me interested in Cognitive Science. With the recent increase in data available to the average person, it's getting more important than ever to be able to access and interact with that data in meaningful ways. Learning how to ignore what may be easy, as a designer, and focus on what the user wants is what typifies the latest trend in web design, as well as design in general.

I can't wait to actually get into the class proper. The first lecture was an excellent introduction, in that it made me excited to continue.
