Abstract: Investigated in three studies how undergraduates use and think about information and communication technologies. Data from questionnaires, computer diary records, and focus groups indicated that students would support policies encouraging them to purchase their own personal computer, but that universities should work to control costs, provide technical support, facilitate compatibility, and formalize expectations about computer use in courses.
