Abstract

In this paper we are going to examine several factors, both societal and technological, that account for the slowdown of computer production and applications. Our basic premise is that there are serious problems associated with the use of computers in industry. It is the responsibility of both businessmen and engineers alike to solve these problems in order to create a better society for us to live in. Computers, like other machines, have their own limitations and are not the panacea, as they may appear to be to some people, for all problems.
