Anticipatory Anthropology and the Telemicroelectronic Revolution: A Preliminary Report From Silicon Valley

The proposal is made that an anticipatory dimension to anthropology should be developed for the purposes of increasing anthropology's capacity to: (1) explain sociocultural change, and (2) contribute to the making of effective proactive public policy. Anticipatory anthropology is needed particularly for the study of rapid change processes, often technology-driven, such as the Telemicroelectronic Revolution. Steps in the ongoing development of anticipatory anthropology are illustrated by a quasi-ethnographic study of the introduction of microcomputers into schools near Silicon Valley, California. ANTICIPATORY ANTHROPOLOGY; COMPUTERS; EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY; FUTURES RESEARCH; POLICY-MAKING.
