A New Angle on Introductory Computing! The eternal triangle for the 90s hardware, software, and people. Sometimes these three truly work in harmony to advance society and enhance our world. At other times. they are locked in conflict, and our systems seem out of joint. This dichotomy that the societal implications of the computer are both positive and negative forms the heart of Robert Oakman's unique introduction to computers. From the very start, he grabs our attention, and forces us to think about the roles, both good and bad, computers play in our daily lives and how we can take advantage of the good and avoid the bad.
