Exploring the Development of Computer Drawing in Graphic Design from a Technology Philosophy

Abstract

Personal computers (PC) have become an integral and necessary part of everyone's lives since the introduction of the Apple II computer from Apple Inc. in 1978. PCs have guided human technology trends for nearly 40 years, and computers have changed many things in people's lives, including food, clothing, accommodation, travel, entertainment, and leisure. The field of graphic design is no exception. Graphic design technology has been significantly impacted by the development of computers. Since the appearance of computers, graphic design technology has gone through unprecedented technology innovation and change. Graphic design not only requires a high level of creativity, it also needs design technology to produce creative design results. In this study, we explored and compared the correlation between the history of PC development and history of graphic design from an interlacing historical and development perspective. We also explored technology philosophy of graphic design from a technology philosophy perspective.
