Croft, Rachel, Lea, Martin and Giordano, Richard (1994): The Social Construction of Computer Use: Stories from the 'Real World'. In: Proceedings of OZCHI94, the CHISIG Annual Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1994. pp. 33-38.

Human-computer interaction is commonly described in terms of formal cognitive models. However, these models are based on particular assumptions about the relationships between users, computers and their environment and recent observational studies in 'real world' settings suggest that they fail to support an adequate understanding of users' interactions with computers. This paper explores the relevance of the social constructivist perspective adopted in the sociology of science and technology for the study of human-computer interaction. Taking examples from their field studies of classroom computer use and computer system implementation in an organization, the authors demonstrate how social constructivist concepts may facilitate an understanding of the interactions between people and computers in the 'real world'.

The moment clients realize that revisions are not an all-you-can-eat buffet, suddenly they realize they are not hungry.
