Hackers - Levy
p216
- Fred Moore sad that "how blindly people accepted technology."
- cheap female labor in Malaysia and other Asian countries who physically assembled those magical chips (embodied labor a surprise)
- worked in unsafe factories for low wages and were unable to return to their villages, since they never had a chance to learn the traditional modes of cooking or raising a family.
p217
- jude milton turned off by how homebrewers were into tech for sake of tech, for sake of control; sheer technology; noted lack of female hardware hackers
- bob albrecht rarely attended, could understand every fourth word
- ted nelson called Homebrew people "chip-monks, people obsessed with chips. It was like going to a meeting of people who love hammers."
how have these internet/hacker histories been written? might looking at it through lens of pcc have a historiographic significance as well as one of interest with regard to gender politics?
