Abstract
Perhaps the most significant development since World War II has been the creation of a new world culture based on the computer and its use in information processing. In western countries, the manufacturing of conventional products has taken a back seat to the development of high technology and service industries. This is especially true where the electronic and computer industries are concerned. This explosion of technology has generated a new population of “technocrats” or “computernicks”. In addition, people working in such traditional vocations as law, medicine, and business, as well as those in such support categories as secretarial, must now learn about this new technology and must apply it in order to remain competitive.
