About this Item

236 pages. "Automation, no less than atomic power and jet flight, is radically changing the modern world. Even now in a single day one electronic computer can do as much as a man scribbling for five thousand years with pencil and paper. The new problems created for the universitities by the development of electronic computers in World War II are surveyed in the first section of the book. Although computers do the work of many men, they create new labor shortages even wile easing old ones; indeed, the training of operators now lags so far behind the production of their instruments that soon computers will be idle for the want of trained personnel to run them."
