摘要

本文首先討論基德勒媒介理論中關於書寫、類比以至數位科技的發展，聚焦於數位電腦作為科技媒介的特質與其發展過程代表的意義：電腦成為主體、成為終結統御一切媒介的媒介。而當科技發展至此，電腦運作於人類的情境，標示著基德勒對於電腦科技媒介的闡述。由此本文第二個部分探討基德勒媒介理論中，電腦與人類的關係：電腦的硬體模式與軟體運作性質，電腦如何決定了我們的處境；以及在此處境下，如何思考相關的科技權力、使用者處境與人機倫理關係。

The first part of this essay discusses Friedrich Kittler's media theory to analyze the development of media from writing, through analog technology, and finally to digital technology. The focus is on the character of the computer as technological media and the meanings it represents: computers themselves becoming subjects, as well as being the medium to rule and end all media. When computers develop in this manner, Kittler's media theory puts emphasis on how computers operate upon humans, and this situation faced by humans. Thus, the second part of the essay discusses the hardware operation and software function of computers, and their relations with humans in Kittler's media theory, as Kittler demonstrates how computers ＂determine our situation.＂ Moreover, the essay deliberates on how the concepts of power and ethics relate to Kittler's media theory that regards computer as technological media. Kittler's media theory brings significant insight into how human beings define themselves and interact with machine/ technology in the 21st century.
