Retold by the chosen few, mythologies about the development of the computer
industry account for much of the contemporary understanding of how
innovation transpires. How can a historical reconsideration dismantle the
assumptions that drive computing today? How might computer history
reconfigure technological change?

Sparked by Assistant Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication Laine
Nooney's book, The Apple II Age: How the Computer Became Personal, this
discussion features some of today's most provocative thinkers and writers;
including Cory Doctorow, Malcolm Harris, Laine Nooney, Charlton McIlwain.
Moderated by Joanne McNeil.
