'As a species, we have lovingly embraced computers as if we had been waiting
for thousands of years for their arrival. In fact, I believe that we have,
and that during that time we have created a set of expectations that are
currently determining how we use and abuse information and communications
technology. In these lectures, I want to look at those expectations and try
to discover how they were formed, find examples of creative work that this
love affair with computers has spawned and explore the social and cultural
implications of these findings for the future.'
