Olivia K's Computerless Algorithm



For my computerless algorithm, my initial idea was to make random passerby's feel awkward, then I thought the idea of observing their reaction would be interesting too. When most people feel overwhelmed or find themselves in a weird situation, they ignore their environment. I predicted that for this experiment, people would ignore our waves and "hi's" and keep walking like nothing happened. I was surprised at how many people reacted and gave us a wave back and even started chatting to the class about what we were doing. It was nice to get positive feedback and smiles back from people from our interaction with them :)
