Computer Technology and Social Issues

Rating:
Summary: A wide breadth of analysis
Review: The value in Computer Technology and Social Issues is the range of reference material Garson brings together within the pages of a 400-page text. Most readers will be convinced after reading this book that the simple prescriptions popularly associated with computer technology are wholly inadequate if one is to come to a meaningful understanding of computers in society. To that end, teachers wishing to devise a condensed "social issues in computing" course may be attracted to the text. Also, those beginning social research in a particular area of computer technology may find the text useful to gain familiarity with a particular subject area.
