The document provides instructions for an alien ambassador to create a PowerPoint presentation introducing an artifact from human culture. The presentation should define the artifact, its purpose, and the cultural context needed to understand its use. It notes that while describing an artifact is straightforward, connecting it to culture is more difficult, as culture is shaped by history, social norms, and human experiences that computers lack. The presentation aims to help aliens start understanding what it means to be human.

1. Alien Ambassador
In you group, create a PowerPoint presentation.
Explaining these points
1. What the item is
2. What it is used for or what it can be used for
3. What one needs to know about the culture in order to understand how to
use the item.
ALIENS KNOW NOTHING. ( introducing the world to an infant, they want to know more and more
because they do not know anything).
Culture is much more difficult to connect to. You can describe the artifacts pretty easily but connecting
with the culture is much more difficult.
Everything around is made by people
People do not live in a bubble
People carry the marks of the people that came before them
These marks affect the way people going about life
This is being human
Computers are covered in the marks of being human. They are filled with humanness.
Next paper: We are going to look at an artifact, connect it to something in culture, and figure what the
design of that artifact has to do with the people that made it.
Artifact in the science and technology realm.
