Abstract
A frame of reference is presented intended to capture conditions that influence the usability of information technologies, primarily computers, in a society. The frame of reference includes four components that influence one another: 1. External physical conditions,

2. Economic resources (including other technological resources), 3. Social actors and their interests, and 4. the Understanding, conceptions etc, held by different actors. The influence of these components on the usability of computers is elaborated in the context of developing countries.
