Description:

The appearance of the first personal computers in the 1990s was just as important as political changes. The update of an operating systems and the update of the state system – people could follow these two processes with equally strong feelings. But social reality malfunctioned just as often as virtual reality. 1993 was the year of the “blue screen of death” and the storming of the House of Government.
