| + | [[Convivial Tools]] are tools which allow the user to operate with independent efficiency. The term was coined by [[Ivan Illich]] in his book [[Tools for Conviviality]] (1973). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Illich's philosophy of Convivial Tools notably influenced [[Lee Felsenstein]], one of the hardware hackers who invented the personal computer. Felsenstein appreciated in particular Illich's vision of tools that would be maintained and developed by a community of users. This vision of a tool development community has been embodied in several more recent movements, such as the [[Free and Open Source Software]] (FOSS), [[Open Design]] and [[Wiki]] mouvements. | ||
