Yvonne, Confiviality, and the Personal Computer

Confiviality represented a society in which individuals had the power to shape their own lives free from excessive dependence on institutionalized systems. He envisioned a world people had access to convivial tools, simple, user-friendly technologies that empowered them to take control of their own destinies. Yvonne advocates for more self-directed and community-based education where people could pursue knowledge and skills according to their own interests and needs. The books' vision of tools that would be developed maintained by community of users actually had significant influence on the first developers, the personal computer.
