One way to may 2022 better:  Consider writing an article for theconversation.com -- it's a good way to reach much larger audiences with your ideas and knowledge.  If your proposal is accepted, the editors work with you (in my experience, multiple rewrites) and theconversation distributes the final version.  

Two examples:
https://theconversation.com/how-the-us-census-led-to-the-first-data-processing-company-125-years-ago-and-kick-started-americas-computing-industry-172850

https://theconversation.com/why-do-people-still-use-fax-machines-109064

Thanks for thinking about this - it's good for you, the history of technology, and your institution.

Stay sane and get a booster (partially for you; more for others),
