Paul Duguid (duguid@parc.xerox.com) Research Associate in Social
and Cultural Studies at the University of California, Berkeley and consultant
at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
Native of Wallasey on the banks of the River Mersey. Graduate of Bristol
University, England (English & Philosophy) and Washington University,
St. Louis (English Literature).
Over the past few years, I have written a series of articles with John
Seely Brown (Chief Scientist of the Xerox Corporation and former Director
of its Palo Alto Research Center) about learning, working and design.
Some of these articles are now available on the Web.
We welcome comments, reactions, and suggestions and do our best to respond
to as many of these as we can.
We have developed ideas that run through these articles into a book,
The Social Life of Information, published by
Harvard Business School Press
in Spring, 2000.
In Material Matters, an article written for a collection of essays called
The Future of the Book, I set out some thoughts about the limits of predictions
about technology.
