Hi everyone, I wanted to pipe in here and introduce myself as someone newly doing work on the use of computer technology. I've just finished my PhD at UC San Diego, with a dissertation titled "Fulfilling the Promise of the Personal Computer: The Development of Accessible Computer Technologies, 1970-1998." In it, I discuss the history of personal computer technology for people with disabilities and its relationship with civil rights and disability activism. Best, Elizabeth Petrick
