Paper Abstract:
This paper examines Americans' dependency on computers, and specifically on personal computers for business, education, entertainment, and communication. It examines the risks associated with overreliance on this technology.
Paper Introduction:
The Dependency of Society and Computer Technology Introduction Computer systems provide highly sophisticated methodsfor managing many aspects of modern life Industrialized societies rely oncomputerized systems for air traffic control power generation medicalservice coordination banking telephones utilities bill paying andcheck processing and national security among many other applications Modern industrial society\'s dependence on computers has a profound impacton society It would not be an exaggeration to suggest that theindustrialized world is undergoing a second Industrial Revolution involvinginformation technology Everyone\'s daily activities are affected
