Computerlore

The lore of computers is the new kid on the block, now an essential component of student folklore at IU. Since the creation of the computer in the early 1970’s there has been a major increase of the computer presence in the lives of students. Here we present a  compilation of folklore involving computers. It is possible to trace the evolution of computing through the lore found in our three categories — archival, ethnographic, and cybernetic. We see, as well, that computers can serve both as medium and object of folklore.
