Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Governments and the general public are spending a fortune on computers, but the real potential of the new technology has remain largely unrealized: that's the hard-hitting message of the latest to join others in criticizing the computer. There's a huge gap between what is promised and delivered by computers: seldom-used features, obsolete designs, and difficult learning curves plague the systems. Landauer proposes new techniques for solving many of these problems. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
"Everyone who has ever stood in line as a clerk [and] fussed over a finicky, computerized check-out machine, or wondered why computers seem to complicate life instead of simplifying it, will appreciate Landauer's cleanly argued and thoroughly readable book."
-- Elizabeth Corcoran, Washington Post
