Description and Table of Contents

Description

A collection of essays by ten contributors who examine the impact of the current revolution in information technology on industry, on education and training for industry and on society. The Kingston Seminars, jointly sponsored by Lever Brothers and Kingston College of Further Education, gave the speakers, who include research directors from industry, university professors, and trade union leaders, the chance to examine the subject from their own point of view. The collection should appeal to the general reader interested in computer technology and its applications, and in the likely effects of current and future developments in society.
