Extract

A recent newspaper article discussing future trends in higher education noted that by 1990 college graduates were likely to have had some “hands-on” experience with computers regardless of their chosen course of study, including the humanities. Nowhere is the impact of the technotronic society more visible than on the college campus today. Computer centers can now be found even at small, traditional liberal arts colleges. Computer manuals are becoming the equivalent of collegiate dictionaries.

As it becomes increasingly apparent, even to the anti-technotronic segment of the academic community, that the development and expansion of computer usage is unlikely to wane, the dialogue about the role of the computer on campus is shifting.
