Published in 1979, this book examines the possible impact of the microprocessor not just on a technical level, but also upon society as a whole. The microprocessor went on to launch a computing revolution that has transformed the world we live in. From the blurb: 'Within the next five years microelectronics technology will engulf all sections of the economy. While the long-term benefits are indisputable and promise a far better quality of life for all of us, the transitional period requires sensitive, imaginative planning if wholesale disruption is to be avoided. This study reviews future developments in information technology and calls for greater government emphasis and public awareness of both the problems and the opportunities presented by the new technology.'
