The Computer Triangle: Hardware, Software, People, 2nd Edition

Applications of computers abound in all areas of modern life. Yet with all the benefits that computers offer people have come new worries associated with the spread of technology: impersonalization, government snooping, automation and downsizing. Hardware and software innovation brought both good and bad consequences for society. This interconnectivity of the three elements, the interdisciplinary nature of the machine and its effects on those who use it -- these are major focuses of this book.
