First, it indicates a directive, as in the commands of \"scripture\"; or, in the disappointment that an apparently spontaneous happening was in fact \"scripted.\" This engages a familiar outlook on computing: code is language operating in a \"prescriptive\" register. Additionally, however, scripting also hints towards the materiality of graphic \"inscription,\" such as the traces expressed in the written form of a \"manuscript.\" The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehistory of computing presented here is situated at the joints of these two senses. Working between them prompts an archaic image of the computer, far removed from advanced technologies of electronic machinery. It instead suggests its deep historical heritage in clerical labor, affording a perspective on computation as a manual, incorporated, and lived activity-that is, as the product of scribes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shen Kuo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shetty Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9785194038084","brand":"Shetty Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43130359808115,"sku":"9.78519E+12","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_5cbc6048-ea55-46c7-a72d-2976e9412319.jpg?v=1749818283","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/evolution-techs-transformative-journey-9785194038084","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
