Neuware - At every juncture during the evolution of digital technology, computer architects intuitively or consciously incorporated truths about human functioning into their designs.

Software, in particular, is specifically written to accomplish humanlike tasks and to be understood in human terms. Yet unlike human life, computer operations can be analyzed in detail because we build machines that execute them and know the decisions that went into their construction.Digital Reality: Knowledge as Set Construction is the final report of a thirty-year study of how computers are designed.
