Computers at Work

This text aims to provide an insight into the large-scale developments brought about by the introduction of technology into the workplace. It consists of descriptions of eight significant computer applications. The applications are chosen because of their importance, and because together they form a representative sample of the many ways in which computers are put to work. The book covers computers of all sizes from microcomputers to mainframes, and work places as diverse as doctors' surgeries and car assembly plants. Robots and digital communications networks are also covered. The text is aimed at GCSE-level pupils.
