Pfaffenberger, Bryan (1988) "The Social Meaning of the Personal Computer: Or, Why the Personal Computer Revolution was No Revolution". Anthropological Quarterly, Vol 61, pp 39-47. This paper gives an interesting account of the ideas around personal computing in the 60-70's. Despite I am not fully agree with his argument it is worth a reading. Cheers, Mario Guimaraes.
