This book reviews the science of data processing and computers. It provides a basic understanding of what a computer system is, what it can do, where and how it is currently being used in business, science, and industry, some generally agreed upon anticipated uses, and the most recent socio-economic trends and issues related to computers. Microcomputers are integrated throughout - an entire chapter is devoted to personal computers and their operation and architecture are compared to mainframe computers. Coverage features extensive information on data communications (including remote and local area networks, and microto mainframe hook-ups); the automated office (specifically electronic mail, teleconferencing, videotex, public utilities like the source, telecomuting and fascimile); packaged software (word processing, electronic spreadsheets, data base management, computer graphics, and integrated software) - with tutorials; artificial intelligence and expert systems,; fifth generation computer, super-chips, and videodisks; robotics (industrial, space, and personal robots).
