| Abstract: | This article reconstructs the social networks linking early personal computing pioneers in order to identify the social and political representations and images that defined these social networks. Using interviews of key actors and, guided by social network theory, the authors describe the linkage between technical development and cultural representations, particularly those of the user, in the case of personal computers. The authors report on their progress in rebuilding Xerox PARK networks. |
