Design Quarterly 142 (Computers and Design) (Muriel Cooper)

Picture it: A new technology has burst onto the scene. Everyone’s trying to figure out what was going to happen and how it would alter lives (and design). The year is 1989 and Muriel Cooper gives a report about what’s happening at the hub of the universe (Boston). She details the progress being made at the MIT Media Lab and Visible Language Workshop. Apple and WGBH also make an appearance. A fascinating look back at what we might be in for.
