Abstract

The world of today has a diversified opinion concerning the worth and value of the computer. For some it is a monster to be feared, while for others it is a friend to be respected. Two statements will probably best demonstrate these different points of view. Lewis Mumford has said, “Nothing that man created is outside his capacity to change, to mold, to supplant, or to destroy. His machines are not more sacred or substantial than the dreams from which they originated.”
