The design history of the electronic computer is surprisingly varied and has been represented as everything from a know-it-all electronic brain to a fearful artificial intelligence. This changing representation of the computer has affected the ways in which computers have been perceived and in turn how they have been presented as designed objects. This lecture aims to highlight some of these cultural representations and their effects on the physical form of computing.
