If one is considering the technological medium of
the car it is easy to see that the car is a figure in
a ground of services which includes the highways
and factories and oil companies and all of those
employed by these agencies. The car as figure
plays against the ground of services which it
brings into existence, so that there is perpetual
action and responses between the complex
variety of tastes and needs of people and the
relatively simple hardware of the car.

Information Systems,” unpublished, San Francisco,
Sept. 12, 1974.
