Description

While much has been written about information technology in the workplace and in the home, this book takes as its starting point how the individual relates to information technology from both the abstract concept to the actual application. The author, a specialist in the field, also deals with the "democratization" of information technology in the domestic sphere and considers likely future developments such as the hypercard.
