The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

I tried a little pedagogical innovation in teaching #HistTech today
The students had read Ruth Schwartz Cowan’s classic More Work for Mother: the Ironies of Household Technology from the Open Hearth to the Microwave
I wanted them to remember 1) the hard work, and 2) how some work disappeared
