  • Abstract
    In this column, the author explores the closeness and its implications for computing. Anthropologists and other social scientists often discuss new technologies as if they were more than simply devices. Computing technology is also linked to cultural scripts around such values as efficiency and rationality. The desktop PC computing paradigm is rapidly giving way to a more complicated and nuanced vision of computing technologies and power.
