The researchers predict a future, where people’s interaction with things is decreased and things become more autonomous, requiring less control from people, aiming to make life easier. However, the question is if we really are ready to let go of the control over such systems in order to have easier life. This is what this research through design project is aiming to find out through a research question How the different user interaction modalities with IoT devices at home influence the sense of control for users? and sub-question How the sense of control over IoT devices would influence how people trust them? With the help of prototype, questionnaire and online sessions, two lists of guidelines were created, consisting of points to consider while designing for such systems from control and trust perspective.The angle was narrowed down to a morning routine and interaction with the alarm clock connected to a coffeemaker.

For this, the investigation was centered in a bibliographic revision and in the analysis of the humoristic blog Kibe Loco. Taking as principal theoretical references Søren Aabye Kierkagaard and Walter Benjamin, the notion of humor was studied as a way of signifying reality that which would favor an existencial leap, according to the first author and as a dialectical image as a historical category that would provoke a waking up according to the second in order to observe the function of humoristic images in digital medias. In this way, it was sought to comprehend the extent to which dialectical images would contribute to the referred leap and waking up , qualitative changes in the relation of the individual with herself and with society as a whole, always making the comparison with the diverse humoristic production of the blog. The first chapter is centered on humor; the second on the image, above all humoristic images; the third chapter combines the theories of the first two with the hypertextual writing of digital platforms / Por meio de uma abordagem sincrônica e diacrônica, o presente trabalho busca analisar o humor como modo de significação da realidade, bem como as imagens humorísticas e, mais especificamente, as circunscritas ao espaço web. Para tanto, a pesquisa centrou-se em revisão bibliográfica e na análise do blog humorístico Kibe Loco. Tomando como referenciais teóricos principais Søren Aabye Kierkegaard e Walter Benjamin, partiu-se da noção de humor como modo de leitura da realidade atenta aos seus aspectos de finitude que favoreceria um salto existencial , conforme o primeiro e de imagem dialética como categoria histórica que suscitaria o despertar , conforme o segundo para observar o funcionamento das imagens humorísticas em mídias digitais. Desse modo, buscou-se compreender em que medida as imagens humorísticas poderiam ser compreendidas como imagens dialéticas e, por tanto, contribuiriam aos referidos salto e despertar , mudanças qualitativas na relação do indivíduo consigo e com a sociedade, sempre cotejando com a diversificada produção humorística do blog. O primeiro capítulo centra-se no humor; o segundo na imagem, sobretudo as humorísticas; o terceiro conjuga as teorias dos dois primeiros com a escrita hipertextual das plataformas digitais
