In this blog post we discuss how home computers arrived at Finnish homes in the 1980s based on an online survey conducted in 2022. We received 350 answers in total from a diverse group of respondents all over Finland, coupled with contemporary photos of the devices in their real environments. The survey was designed and the results analyzed using the common quadripartite domestication model – appropriation, objectification, incorporation and conversion – as presented by Silverstone, Hirsch and Morley (1992).
