The song "Jack and Diane" tells the story of two American teenagers, Jack and Diane, growing up in the Midwest. In the song, Jack is envisioned as a future football star while Diane is a debutante. The lyrics describe the pair kissing and embracing in the backseat of Jack's car outside a local restaurant. Throughout the song, the lives and relationship of Jack and Diane are reflected upon as they experience the pleasures and changes of growing up.
Poetry for Robots: A Digital Humanities ExperimentWebVisions
In 1989, scholar Norman Cousins published a piece called The Poet and the Computer. Anticipating the computer revolution at his doorstep Cousins makes a plea: do not allow our machines to dehumanize us. And he offers a specific prescription against the potential malady - poetry.
"The danger," he explains, is "not so much that man will be controlled by the computer as that he may imitate it.” Intimate and repeated communication with the robots may require us to too conform our minds to their limited logics and cold calculations.
To preserve and reinforce humanness, Cousins hypothesizes that “…it might be fruitful to effect some sort of junction between the computer technologist and the poet.” And I agree. I propose we write poetry for the robots. What would happen if we created metaphorical metadata for an image bank? Would a search for ‘stars' return image of ‘eyes'?
At Poetry4Robots.com, we’ve made the experiment live. This ‘digital humanities experiment’ is being conducted by Neologic Labs, Webvisions, and Arizona State University's Center for Science and the Imagination.
This talk is about how we may further turn to the arts and humanities to ensure human-centric UX.

6. The Ballad Definition: A ballad is a slonglike poem that tells a story, often one dealing with adventure and romance. Most ballads are written in four to six line stanzas and have regular rhythms and rhyme scheme. A ballad often features a refrain—a regularly repeated line or group of lines. Does “Jack and Diane” fit this description? Why or why not?
9. Yo, Ho, Ho, Ho, a Pirate’s Life for Me! We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho! We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

11. Does It Fit the Bill? Although this song could be considered “poetic,” it does not fit the strict definition of a ballad, as it does not tell a story. We are now going to create our own ballads in groups.
12. Directions for Creating Your Ballad! Form into groups of four to six. You must be in groups of four to six as each member in your group will be responsible for writing one stanza of your ballad. Talk amongst your group for five minutes to decide on the storyline you would like for your ballad.
13. Each group member will write a stanza. Have one member write the first stanza, and then hand it to the next member. Your ballads MUST have a regular rhyme scheme. It must also have a refrain AND it must tell a story. Other than this, you have free reign!
