home computer  

Definition

  • The history of the home computer provides an example of how a technology once felt to be far removed from the home and everyday patterns of life was subsequently developed, promoted, and embraced—indeed consumed—as a product. For many, the home computer continues to mediate a wide range of consumer activities from e-commerce to online gaming. [Source: Encyclopedia of Consumer Culture; Home Computer]
