Abstract

This chapter aims to give an empirical grounding to the argument for broadening how computing is considered. It explains why it is necessary to over-come the dominant, primarily technical perspective of academic computing studies via a technosocial view, in favor of a technosocial perspective. Along the way, it documents how a substantial portion of the problems people have in the design, implementation, and maintenance of computer-based systems that pretend to support human information practices is attributable to imbalances between and improper framings of the attention given respectively to social and technical perspectives on what it means to compute.
