  Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Bootstrapping, by Thierry Bardini, Hardcover
It also examines the "bootstrapping" process by which the invention of new hardware and software systems was simultaneously matched with the creation of a new concept we call the "user." Engelbart's work and his vision for a human-computer interface is considered in its historical context.
Thierry Bardini is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the Université de Montréal.
Bootstrapping analyzes the genesis of personal computing from both technological and social perspectives, through a close study of the pathbreaking work of one researcher, Douglas Engelbart.

  Douglas Engelbart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historian of science Thierry Bardini has persuasively argued that Engelbart's complex personal philosophy (which drove all his research endeavors) foreshadowed the modern application of the concept of coevolution to the philosophy and use of technology.
Bardini points out that Engelbart was strongly influenced by the principle of linguistic relativity developed by Benjamin Lee Whorf.
Where Whorf reasoned that the sophistication of a language controls the sophistication of the thoughts that can be expressed by a speaker of that language, Engelbart reasoned that the state of our current technology controls our ability to manipulate information, and that fact in turn will control our ability to develop new, improved technologies.

Communications professor Thierry Bardini examines the scope of his work before and during his tenure at the Stanford Research Institute in Bootstrapping, a thoughtful history of an underreported story.
Bardini cleverly sidesteps the postmodern superanalysis of his colleagues to present a clear, straightforward glimpse into Engelbart's environment of inspiration.
How and why this occurred as it did is the focus of Bardini's research, and students of creativity and the history of computing will have fits of ecstasy that he has compiled his work so accessibly.

However, neither he nor his biographer (Bardini insists this is not a biography but it is as close to a biography as we have) offer clear descriptions of those tools and concrete examples of those tools in action.
Bardini has a profound grasp of this phenomenon of social inertia.
In this book, Thierry Bardini does an excellent job of describing how Douglas Engelbart and his colleagues ran their lap and how they can best pass on the baton without fumbling.

Communications professor Thierry Bardini examines the scope of his work before and during his tenure at the Stanford Research Institute.
Bardini cleverly sidesteps the post-modern super-analysis of his colleagues to present a clear, straightforward glimpse into Engelbart's environment of inspiration.
As an engineer familiar with the earliest computers, he quickly came to understand that their complexity could quickly outpace human ability to cope and thus was born the concept of the "user".

Bardini a constaté que ces innovateurs étaient en même temps les premiers usagers de la technologie qu'ils sont à créer : ils inventent ainsi un premier modèle d'usager à leur image (l'usager réflexif) (Bardini et Horvath, 1995).
L'approche de T. Bardini a permis de saisir -- par le biais d'une description des premières représentations des usages et des usagers captées auprès de la communauté des innovateurs -- la dynamique d'innovation sociale et technique à l'oeuvre du côté des concepteurs.

 FM Reviews
A final point that needs mention is Engelbart's difficulty with imagining the user, though to be fair it must be pointed out that all designers have the same problem, at least in the early stages of their work: the user is themselves, since no one else is involved with the product, whatever it might be.
None of this is mere metaphor, for recurring passages in the book make it clear that Engelbart and at least some of his colleagues pursued their goal with a fervor that was nothing short of religious.
Bardini makes the point explicit in his discussion of the culminating est episode, where Engelbart's staff turned on him with the rage of disappointed true believers.

 NODAL: A Filesystem for Ubiquitous Collaboration
Douglas Engelbart's Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at SRI International, perhaps most famous for developing the computer mouse, was a crucible for the evolution of interactive computing (Bardini, 2000).
On the early Arpanet, e-mail was adopted as the universal tool for collaboration, in large part because it was a simple technology that was much more evolutionary than the radically revolutionary system Engelbart had assembled.
