abstract: 'Based on an ethnographic project in a public high school in a low-income
neighborhood in South Los Angeles, this paper argues that access to
information and communication technologies (ICTs) cannot be taken as
helpful or empowering on its own terms; instead, concerns about justice
must be accounted for by the local communities technology is meant to
benefit. This paper juxtaposes the concept of technological access with
recent work in feminist science and technology studies (STS) on
infrastructure, maintenance, and ethics. In contrast to popular
descriptions of ICTs as emancipatory and transformative, in the setting
of an urban school, access produced extensive demands for attention,
time, and information. This paper focuses on the labor of a group of
student workers, Student Technology Leaders (STLs), and how they became
responsible for the significant amount of repair and maintenance work
involved in keeping hundreds of new computing devices available for use.
An expanded process of accounting can more realistically frame issues of
justice and its relationship to ICTs. I use a town hall meeting held
with these students as an example of a processual vision of justice, one
that encourages the beneficiaries of technological access to evaluate
costs, benefits, and ethical concerns together.'
