| Title: | "Let them use emacs": the interaction of simplicity and appropriation, |
| Author(s): | Twidale, Michael B.; Jones, M. Cameron |
| Subject(s): | appropriation |
| Abstract: | We look at appropriations in a number of contexts, and find that often they involve very simple ways of coordinating functionality that seems to be at odds with much of the approach of computer systems design that emphasizes power and abstraction. We speculate about how we can extend this simplicity in other ways. |
