Identifier/Call Number: M1443 Physical Description: 56 Linear Feet Date (inclusive): circa 1975-2007 Special Collections and University Archives materials are stored offsite and must be paged 36 hours in advance. Abstract: The papers of computer designer Lee Felsenstein contain material about the development of personal computers through the 1970s and 80s. Biographical / Historical Lee Felsenstein is an electronic design engineer known for his contributions to the early history of personal computing. Born in Philadelphia, PA in 1945, Felsenstein studied electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, where he took part in the 1964 Free Speech Movement protests and was employed as a junior engineer at Ampex. Working as a contract engineer since the 1970’s, much of Felsenstein’s output has focused on making personal computing more publicly accessible. His contributions to the history of computing include designing the 1973 Pennywhistle modem, an early acoustic coupler modem affordable to hobbyists, and the Osborne 1, the first commercially successful portable computer, released by the Osborne Computer Corporation in 1981. Additionally, Felsenstein is known for co-founding the Community Memory Project, a publicly-accessible computer bulletin board system self-branded as an “information flea market,” in 1973, and for his role from 1975 to 1986 as moderator of the Homebrew Computer Club, a Silicon Valley-based group of computing enthusiasts whose membership included Bob Marsh, Steve Wozniak, Adam Osborne, and Jerry Lawson, among others. Felsenstein also designed Processor Technology’s SOL-20 microcomputer, a popular hobbyist’s computer terminal released in 1976, and the VDM-1, an inexpensive video display module that served as a blueprint for the architecture of personal computing, released in 1975. Felsenstein has additionally engaged in nonprofit efforts such as the Jhai PC, a ‘remote village IT system’ designed for usage in rural jungle environments in Laos, and the Free Speech Movement Archives, an online hub for information related to the 1964-1965 Berkeley protests that Felsenstein himself took part in. In 1994, the Electronic Frontier Foundation awarded Lee Felsenstein a Pioneer Award for his contributions to personal computing. He was made a laureate of the Tech Museum of Innovation in 2003, and was made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum in 2016 “for his influence on the technical and social environment of the early personal computing era”.

  • My Path Through the FSM and Beyond Lee Felsenstein 22 Feb
    1 My Path Through the FSM and Beyond Lee Felsenstein 22 Feb. 2005 © 2005 by Lee Felsenstein – all rights reserved This essay is a response to several requests for information on my particular political/technical trajectory from the FSM to the personal computer. “How did your involvement in the FSM affect your thinking on technology?” is one question from a PhD researcher, others ask about the overlap between the counterculture and the personal computer movement. This is a part of a future, more comprehensive memoir. The Environment In 1963, when I entered the College of Engineering at Berkeley as a freshman, the world was a much different place from today, especially for an 18-year-old acolyte entering the priesthood of technology. Engineers and other technologists were almost universally participants in large commercial or military institutions (or both – the “military industrial complex” described by Eisenhower in his farewell address). You worked as a small cog within a massive structure, with paper, pencil and slide rule as your principal tools. Numerous file clerks, documentation clerks, secretaries and technicians provided supporting services. If you needed computer time you had to write a justification and then write your program on coding sheets, one letter or number to a square. Someone else keypunched the code and had the resulting deck of cards delivered to a remote computer. You got back a batch of printout over which you pored until you decided whether the results were correct or whether another cycle would necessary. The upshot was that in your vocation you disappeared into a vast technological machine which was visible to the general public through its products – the space program, pharmaceuticals, automobiles and aircraft.

    The Virtual Community Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier by Howard Rheingold ADDISON-WESLEY PUBLISHING COMPANY Reading, MA Copyright © 1993 by Howard Rheingold "When you think of a title for a book, you are forced to think of something short and evocative, like, well, 'The Virtual Community,' even though a more accurate title might be: 'People who use computers to communicate, form friendships that sometimes form the basis of communities, but you have to be careful to not mistake the tool for the task and think that just writing words on a screen is the same thing as real community.'" – HLR We know the rules of community; we know the healing effect of community in terms of individual lives. If we could somehow find a way across the bridge of our knowledge, would not these same rules have a healing effect upon our world? We human beings have often been referred to as social animals. But we are not yet community creatures. We are impelled to relate with each other for our survival. But we do not yet relate with the inclusivity, realism, self-awareness, vulnerability, commitment, openness, freedom, equality, and love of genuine community. It is clearly no longer enough to be simply social animals, babbling together at cocktail parties and brawling with each other in business and over boundaries.
