Ac­know­ledg­ments
This book would not have been possible without the help and guidance of many
people. I began this project as a PhD student in History and Science Studies at
the University of California, San Diego. I would like to thank my graduate advisor,
Cathy Gere, who did her best to make me a better writer, and I will always appreci-
ate it. I also want to thank Charles Thorpe for making the time to run a disserta-
tion workshop group with all of his students; his and their feedback was invalu-
able, particularly in helping me to consider interdisciplinary views. I am grateful
to Tal Golan, Robert Westman, and Kelly Gates for their encouragement and
feedback along the way. The graduate students also helped me, throughout my
time there, by letting me bounce ideas off of them and providing necessary critique,
in par­
tic­
u­
lar: Kevin Walsh, Emily Lee, Monica Hoffman, Katrina Petersen, Krystal
Tribbett-McCants, Bob Long, Leah Cluff, and Jon Stern.
I would also like to thank some of the people this book is about, whose history
I have told, especially the Brand family and Alan Brightman. Their work to pro-
mote accessible computer technologies for people with disabilities made this book
possible and also gave me an often intimate look at the role of individual people
in the technology development pro­
cess. The materials on their work and that of
others mostly came from oral history interviews they conducted and from the
archive at the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. In addi-
tion, Alan met and talked with me, offering me much-­
needed insights into the
accessibility work done at Apple Computer. Jackie Brand provided me with signifi-
cant materials from her personal collection, both photographs and documents,
and encouraged my telling of this history. I thank her daughter, Shoshana Brand,
for allowing me to share images of her own use of accessible personal computer
technology and thus put a face to the significance of this technology.
I also appreciate Robert J. Brugger at Johns Hopkins University Press for his
patience and assistance in guiding me through this publication pro­
cess. I am grate-
ful as well for the feedback in the review done by Howard Segal from the University
of Maine.
viii  Acknowledgments
I cannot thank my friends and family enough for their support in getting me
­
here and enabling me to complete this book. In par­
tic­
u­
lar, I want to thank Holly
Zynda for her copyediting expertise, Kristofer Lee for endless conversations in
which I mulled over problems, and Matt McGuire for providing me with operat-
ing system images. Finally, I never could have done this without the support of my
parents, who encouraged me to change disciplines entirely, from computer science
to history, and work toward a goal that seemed a very long way off when I started.

Introduction
The Development of Accessible
Personal Computer Technologies
With regard to the major physical and sensory disabilities, I believe that in
a couple of de­
cades we will come to herald the effective end of handicaps.
As amplifiers of human thought, computers have great potential to assist
human expression and to expand creativity for all of us.
raymond kurzweil, the age of spiritual machines:
when computers exceed human intelligence
In 1974, not long after developing the first optical character recognition technol-
ogy that could recognize any printed text, Raymond Kurzweil sat next to a blind
man on a plane flight. Kurzweil was searching for a use for his new software—­
looking for a problem to which the software might provide the solution. At this
time, no computer program existed which could translate text of any font into
speech for blind people to understand. The man on the flight described this limi-
tation as “the only real handicap” his blindness presented. Kurzweil, a computer
technology developer and later futurist phi­
los­
o­
pher, decided that this would be the
use to which he would put his new innovation, to “overcome this principal hand-
icap of blindness,” as he saw it—­that is, the inability to read printed texts.1
By 1976,
the Kurzweil Reading Machine existed as a working prototype that could scan
printed texts and translate them into speech. People expressed immediate inter-
est in the technology; after seeing it featured on the Today Show, Stevie Wonder
contacted Kurzweil’s company and was given their second-­ever version of the ma-
chine.2
The Kurzweil Reading Machine would set the bar for other text-­to-­speech
software in terms of accuracy and vocabulary. The Reading Machine was not Kurz-
weil’s only accessible technology innovation. In 1982, his company created the
Kurzweil Voice, general purpose dictation software that was the descendent of spe-
cialized medical dictation technology. Kurzweil found that this software was par-
ticularly useful for people whose disability affected the use of their hands; it allowed
them to compose text in word-­
processing software by speaking.3
These early
2   Making Computers Accessible
accessible computer technologies placed Kurzweil at the forefront of innovations
for people with disabilities and demonstrated the possibilities of computers to im-
prove people’s lives.
Looking toward the future, Kurzweil predicted that one day advanced computer
technologies would eradicate disability itself, first by accommodating all the needs
of people with disabilities and later by fixing their bodies. In Kurzweil’s vision of
the future, computer technology created for people with disabilities acted as the
first step in people transcending the limitations of their bodies, thus altering what
it means to be human. This transhumanist utopian vision descends from utopian
ideals dating back to Plato and defined by Thomas More’s 1516 novel, Utopia. Kurz-
weil’s utopia follows from Enlightenment dreams that flowed into the Industrial
Revolution and looked not to an ideal society hidden away, waiting to be found,
but to the future, when science and technology would inevitably improve society
to a point where utopia might be attainable.4
For most utopianists, the Christian
belief in original sin prevented the full realization of any true utopian society for
human beings; they could only be improved upon, not made perfect. Unlike this
idea of an inherently limited utopia, Kurzweil’s vision of a better future is one where
all problems with the human body are fixed by technology, and, ultimately, the
body itself is left behind. Technology is capable of solving all human physical prob-
lems, eliminating the barriers that prevent certain people from fully participating
in society but also offering the potential to transform human existence itself. Tech-
nologists, Kurzweil believed, could aid the creation of this future by working on
innovations that aided people in the present.
Disability and technology activists also looked at developing computer technol-
ogy and saw its potential to overcome barriers and improve the lives of people with
disabilities, taking a celebratory perspective toward the use of computers. Unlike
Kurzweil, however, these activists did not reach toward a utopia in some distant
future. Instead they focused on the daily reality of people with disabilities strug-
gling for fuller participation in society. Theirs was a more pragmatic vision of tech-
nological potential, promoting the development of computer technologies, such as
those Kurzweil himself created, but with an emphasis on the unique needs of in-
dividuals and the often messy realities of using technology to augment their abil-
ities. Disability activists focused on people with disabilities as technology users,
as people who might incorporate technology into their lives in order to meet their
individual needs and desires.
Throughout the history of accessible computer technologies, people with dis-
abilities acted as the paradigmatic computer users. Technology created for their
Introduction  3
use was the foundation for technologies intended to augment all humans, a goal
in line with Kurzweil’s arguments for technology benefiting people. Developers
had to design specifically for people with disabilities in mind—­making their needs
primary—­
before they could expand the scope of computer technology to include
everyone. This was not a one-­
way relationship between developers and users,
however; people with disabilities and nondisabled activists pushed for changes to
personal computers that would make them more inclusive of different needs. This
history of the creation of accessible personal computer technologies did not play
out in a futurist vision of ever-­
accelerating technological progress toward a state
of bodilessness but rather in the actual development of personal computer tech-
nologies for people with disabilities. Innovators, users, activists, and policy mak-
ers worked to build an inclusive technology instead of one developed according
to ideas of normalcy that excluded people with disabilities, to put their needs at
the forefront of the development pro­
cess.
The role of everyday users, and people with disabilities in par­tic­u­lar, lies mostly
unexplored within the history of computers. This history tells us about the influ-
ences of the military and counterculture in creating computers and embedding
them with values that influenced the place of the technology in society, as well as
about the importance of innovators, companies, and computer professionals. Hack-
ers or people who blur the line between users and developers, such as hobbyists
or computer professionals, generally define the “user.” We know less about how
everyday consumers play a part in the development of computers or how the de-
sign of technology affects people’s use of it. From the perspective of people with
disabilities, various rich histories detail the civil rights struggle and the use of
assistive technologies, but fewer studies examine everyday technologies. The
history of accessible personal computer technologies for people with disabilities
combines the history of computers and the history of people with disabilities in
order to understand the role of users in the development of computers and the
significance of computers in the lives of users.
By accommodating physical needs, personal computer technology played a po­
liti­
cal role in the historical enactment of civil rights for people with disabilities.
The development of accessible technologies intersected with the history of civil
rights and the emergence of identity politics; as disability became an identity that
people could claim and as their consciousness as a marginalized population within
society grew, people with disabilities increasingly advocated for changes to the so-
cial environment that would address concerns about equity. Technological accom-
modation, in the form of personal technology and in the public built environment,
4   Making Computers Accessible
is necessary for people with disabilities to experience full participation in a soci-
ety that has not been built with their needs in mind. Technology alone, however,
does not change anyone’s lives for the better; people must be aware of it, and it must
be available to them for its benefits to be realized. This element of technological
development and use does not appear in Kurzweil’s account of technology and so-
ciety. Activists created social technologies, in the form of networked advocacy
groups, to share information and disseminate knowledge to consumers. In some
instances, federal antidiscrimination legislation was necessary to mandate access
to computer technologies.
Accessible personal computer technology took three forms during this history:
a po­liti­cal technology, which made equity possible; a legal technology, which was
required and funded by the federal government; and a social technology, which
created new forms of information sharing and communication. For its potential
as a po­liti­cal technology to be realized, developers needed to build these technolo-
gies into the personal computer, and corporate philanthropy played an essential
role in creating accessible computer technologies and supplying them to users. First
though, developers had to rethink who counted as a user in order for these tech-
nologies to work for a variety of uses. By embracing the values behind what
would become universal design, developers met the needs of different people by
creating technologies that ­
were flexible enough to accommodate bodily varia-
tions. This approach started with hardware and the physical input and output
devices people use to interact with the computer, then it was applied to creating
software that allowed people to experience the same computer functions in dif-
ferent ways. The federal government mandated some of these accessibility devel-
opments in order for the civil rights potential of the technology to be realized. As
a social technology, the personal computer was a part of its own network of
technological dissemination—­
informing people of what was available and what
was possible. On a more personal level, the technology also enabled new forms
of communication for users. These three aspects of the development of accessible
personal computer technology fit in well with Kurzweil’s philosophy of technol-
ogy changing individual lives, but beyond the personal lay a social level absent
from his view, where technology was built within companies, promoted and dis-
seminated by activists, talked about and requested by users, and legislated by the
government.
All three aspects of the technology—­
political, legal, and social—­
came together
in the form of technological accommodations to enact civil rights. For these rights
to be realized, access had to be built into the technology. The hard, messy pro­cess

    Ac­know­ledg­ments This book wouldnot have been possible without the help and guidance of many people. I began this project as a PhD student in History and Science Studies at the University of California, San Diego. I would like to thank my graduate advisor, Cathy Gere, who did her best to make me a better writer, and I will always appreci- ate it. I also want to thank Charles Thorpe for making the time to run a disserta- tion workshop group with all of his students; his and their feedback was invalu- able, particularly in helping me to consider interdisciplinary views. I am grateful to Tal Golan, Robert Westman, and Kelly Gates for their encouragement and feedback along the way. The graduate students also helped me, throughout my time there, by letting me bounce ideas off of them and providing necessary critique, in par­ tic­ u­ lar: Kevin Walsh, Emily Lee, Monica Hoffman, Katrina Petersen, Krystal Tribbett-McCants, Bob Long, Leah Cluff, and Jon Stern. I would also like to thank some of the people this book is about, whose history I have told, especially the Brand family and Alan Brightman. Their work to pro- mote accessible computer technologies for people with disabilities made this book possible and also gave me an often intimate look at the role of individual people in the technology development pro­ cess. The materials on their work and that of others mostly came from oral history interviews they conducted and from the archive at the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. In addi- tion, Alan met and talked with me, offering me much-­ needed insights into the accessibility work done at Apple Computer. Jackie Brand provided me with signifi- cant materials from her personal collection, both photographs and documents, and encouraged my telling of this history. I thank her daughter, Shoshana Brand, for allowing me to share images of her own use of accessible personal computer technology and thus put a face to the significance of this technology. I also appreciate Robert J. Brugger at Johns Hopkins University Press for his patience and assistance in guiding me through this publication pro­ cess. I am grate- ful as well for the feedback in the review done by Howard Segal from the University of Maine.

    viii  Acknowledgments I cannot thankmy friends and family enough for their support in getting me ­ here and enabling me to complete this book. In par­ tic­ u­ lar, I want to thank Holly Zynda for her copyediting expertise, Kristofer Lee for endless conversations in which I mulled over problems, and Matt McGuire for providing me with operat- ing system images. Finally, I never could have done this without the support of my parents, who encouraged me to change disciplines entirely, from computer science to history, and work toward a goal that seemed a very long way off when I started.

    Introduction The Development ofAccessible Personal Computer Technologies With regard to the major physical and sensory disabilities, I believe that in a couple of de­ cades we will come to herald the effective end of handicaps. As amplifiers of human thought, computers have great potential to assist human expression and to expand creativity for all of us. raymond kurzweil, the age of spiritual machines: when computers exceed human intelligence In 1974, not long after developing the first optical character recognition technol- ogy that could recognize any printed text, Raymond Kurzweil sat next to a blind man on a plane flight. Kurzweil was searching for a use for his new software—­ looking for a problem to which the software might provide the solution. At this time, no computer program existed which could translate text of any font into speech for blind people to understand. The man on the flight described this limi- tation as “the only real handicap” his blindness presented. Kurzweil, a computer technology developer and later futurist phi­ los­ o­ pher, decided that this would be the use to which he would put his new innovation, to “overcome this principal hand- icap of blindness,” as he saw it—­that is, the inability to read printed texts.1 By 1976, the Kurzweil Reading Machine existed as a working prototype that could scan printed texts and translate them into speech. People expressed immediate inter- est in the technology; after seeing it featured on the Today Show, Stevie Wonder contacted Kurzweil’s company and was given their second-­ever version of the ma- chine.2 The Kurzweil Reading Machine would set the bar for other text-­to-­speech software in terms of accuracy and vocabulary. The Reading Machine was not Kurz- weil’s only accessible technology innovation. In 1982, his company created the Kurzweil Voice, general purpose dictation software that was the descendent of spe- cialized medical dictation technology. Kurzweil found that this software was par- ticularly useful for people whose disability affected the use of their hands; it allowed them to compose text in word-­ processing software by speaking.3 These early
  • 18.
    2   Making ComputersAccessible accessible computer technologies placed Kurzweil at the forefront of innovations for people with disabilities and demonstrated the possibilities of computers to im- prove people’s lives. Looking toward the future, Kurzweil predicted that one day advanced computer technologies would eradicate disability itself, first by accommodating all the needs of people with disabilities and later by fixing their bodies. In Kurzweil’s vision of the future, computer technology created for people with disabilities acted as the first step in people transcending the limitations of their bodies, thus altering what it means to be human. This transhumanist utopian vision descends from utopian ideals dating back to Plato and defined by Thomas More’s 1516 novel, Utopia. Kurz- weil’s utopia follows from Enlightenment dreams that flowed into the Industrial Revolution and looked not to an ideal society hidden away, waiting to be found, but to the future, when science and technology would inevitably improve society to a point where utopia might be attainable.4 For most utopianists, the Christian belief in original sin prevented the full realization of any true utopian society for human beings; they could only be improved upon, not made perfect. Unlike this idea of an inherently limited utopia, Kurzweil’s vision of a better future is one where all problems with the human body are fixed by technology, and, ultimately, the body itself is left behind. Technology is capable of solving all human physical prob- lems, eliminating the barriers that prevent certain people from fully participating in society but also offering the potential to transform human existence itself. Tech- nologists, Kurzweil believed, could aid the creation of this future by working on innovations that aided people in the present. Disability and technology activists also looked at developing computer technol- ogy and saw its potential to overcome barriers and improve the lives of people with disabilities, taking a celebratory perspective toward the use of computers. Unlike Kurzweil, however, these activists did not reach toward a utopia in some distant future. Instead they focused on the daily reality of people with disabilities strug- gling for fuller participation in society. Theirs was a more pragmatic vision of tech- nological potential, promoting the development of computer technologies, such as those Kurzweil himself created, but with an emphasis on the unique needs of in- dividuals and the often messy realities of using technology to augment their abil- ities. Disability activists focused on people with disabilities as technology users, as people who might incorporate technology into their lives in order to meet their individual needs and desires. Throughout the history of accessible computer technologies, people with dis- abilities acted as the paradigmatic computer users. Technology created for their
  • 19.
    Introduction  3 use was thefoundation for technologies intended to augment all humans, a goal in line with Kurzweil’s arguments for technology benefiting people. Developers had to design specifically for people with disabilities in mind—­making their needs primary—­ before they could expand the scope of computer technology to include everyone. This was not a one-­ way relationship between developers and users, however; people with disabilities and nondisabled activists pushed for changes to personal computers that would make them more inclusive of different needs. This history of the creation of accessible personal computer technologies did not play out in a futurist vision of ever-­ accelerating technological progress toward a state of bodilessness but rather in the actual development of personal computer tech- nologies for people with disabilities. Innovators, users, activists, and policy mak- ers worked to build an inclusive technology instead of one developed according to ideas of normalcy that excluded people with disabilities, to put their needs at the forefront of the development pro­ cess. The role of everyday users, and people with disabilities in par­tic­u­lar, lies mostly unexplored within the history of computers. This history tells us about the influ- ences of the military and counterculture in creating computers and embedding them with values that influenced the place of the technology in society, as well as about the importance of innovators, companies, and computer professionals. Hack- ers or people who blur the line between users and developers, such as hobbyists or computer professionals, generally define the “user.” We know less about how everyday consumers play a part in the development of computers or how the de- sign of technology affects people’s use of it. From the perspective of people with disabilities, various rich histories detail the civil rights struggle and the use of assistive technologies, but fewer studies examine everyday technologies. The history of accessible personal computer technologies for people with disabilities combines the history of computers and the history of people with disabilities in order to understand the role of users in the development of computers and the significance of computers in the lives of users. By accommodating physical needs, personal computer technology played a po­ liti­ cal role in the historical enactment of civil rights for people with disabilities. The development of accessible technologies intersected with the history of civil rights and the emergence of identity politics; as disability became an identity that people could claim and as their consciousness as a marginalized population within society grew, people with disabilities increasingly advocated for changes to the so- cial environment that would address concerns about equity. Technological accom- modation, in the form of personal technology and in the public built environment,

    4   Making ComputersAccessible is necessary for people with disabilities to experience full participation in a soci- ety that has not been built with their needs in mind. Technology alone, however, does not change anyone’s lives for the better; people must be aware of it, and it must be available to them for its benefits to be realized. This element of technological development and use does not appear in Kurzweil’s account of technology and so- ciety. Activists created social technologies, in the form of networked advocacy groups, to share information and disseminate knowledge to consumers. In some instances, federal antidiscrimination legislation was necessary to mandate access to computer technologies. Accessible personal computer technology took three forms during this history: a po­liti­cal technology, which made equity possible; a legal technology, which was required and funded by the federal government; and a social technology, which created new forms of information sharing and communication. For its potential as a po­liti­cal technology to be realized, developers needed to build these technolo- gies into the personal computer, and corporate philanthropy played an essential role in creating accessible computer technologies and supplying them to users. First though, developers had to rethink who counted as a user in order for these tech- nologies to work for a variety of uses. By embracing the values behind what would become universal design, developers met the needs of different people by creating technologies that ­ were flexible enough to accommodate bodily varia- tions. This approach started with hardware and the physical input and output devices people use to interact with the computer, then it was applied to creating software that allowed people to experience the same computer functions in dif- ferent ways. The federal government mandated some of these accessibility devel- opments in order for the civil rights potential of the technology to be realized. As a social technology, the personal computer was a part of its own network of technological dissemination—­ informing people of what was available and what was possible. On a more personal level, the technology also enabled new forms of communication for users. These three aspects of the development of accessible personal computer technology fit in well with Kurzweil’s philosophy of technol- ogy changing individual lives, but beyond the personal lay a social level absent from his view, where technology was built within companies, promoted and dis- seminated by activists, talked about and requested by users, and legislated by the government. All three aspects of the technology—­ political, legal, and social—­ came together in the form of technological accommodations to enact civil rights. For these rights to be realized, access had to be built into the technology. The hard, messy pro­cess
