Making meaning out of high tech: A critical ethnographic retelling of personal stories about the information age

"The principal concern of this study is to explore the character and origins of people's everyday knowledge about phenomena that are typically considered as part of an ""information age,"" ""computer revolution,"" or ""high-tech society."" Based primarily on ethnographic interviews, the research attempts to elicit and to analyze narrative expressions of how people may connect these purportedly global phenomena with their own life stories, or personal biographies."
