Isaacson, Portia, Gammill, Robert C., Heiser, Richard S., Osborne, Adam, Tesler, Larry and Warren, Jim C. (1978): Personal computing: problems of the 80's. In ACM SIGPC Notes, 1 (3) pp. 46-55
“Originally published in Proc. of the Oregon Report on Computing in the 1980s (Mar. 1978) and Computer 11 (Sep. 1978). The scope of this blueprint paper includes home, hobby, business, education, and scientific personal computers and some intelligent devices with a restricted user interface. A computer must cost under $I,000 in order to have mass-market appeal. Portability is an important attribute. The size should be no larger than a notebook; weight less than 4 pounds. The user interface will be considerably simpler than any now in use. To supplant paper-based systems, personal computers will have to surpass them in ease of retrieval of information, thereby permitting access to a wider range of information in a shorter time than a trip to a library. Both highly directed searches and free-flowing browsing through large stores of information will be mandatory capabilities. The personal computer together with the worldwide information network will bring the libraries and schools (not to mention stores and billboards) into the home. ”

“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”
