[SIGCIS-Members] The Communicators

[Evan Koblentz]

Agreed; I am counting them among the microcomputer generation. These people and their work products are, fortunately, readily accessible.

Right now I’m looking for input on the pre-1965 question.

Definitely the people who wrote hacker zines and bulletin boards, not least because they combined a political point of view with their technical writing

I’m interested in a new-to-me research angle: the people who changed computing by writing about it.

Lovelace comes to mind. So do Vannevar Bush and Edmund Berkeley.


  1.  Who else should I consider from prior to 1965? (I have the microcomputer generation covered.)
  2.  Are there existing papers on this subject?
