Abstract

Although much effort has been spent trying to improve communications across the man-computer boundary, most large computer centers still rely on punched-card-input and line-printer-output for the bulk of their load. Even modern "time-shared" systems rely principally on teletypewriter alphanumeric communication between man and machine.
