The Social Impact of Computers should be read as a guide to the social implications of current and future applications of computers. Among the basic themes presented are the following: the changing nature of work in response to technological innovation as well as the threat to jobs; personal freedom in the machine age as manifested by challenges to privacy, dignity, and work; the relationship between advances in computer and communications technology and the possibility of increased centralization of authority; and the emergence and influence of artificial intelligence and its role in decision-making, especially in military applications. The book begins with background and historical information on computers and technology. Separate chapters then cover major applications: business, medicine, education, government; major social issues, including crime, privacy, work; and new technologies and problems: industry regulation, electronic funds transfer systems, international competition, national industrial policies, robotics and industrial automation, productivity, the information society, videotex. The final chapter discusses issues associated with ethics and professionalism. The material presented should be accessible to most university students who have had an introductory course in computer science. Self taught or sufficiently motivated individuals who have gained an understanding of how computers operate should also profit from this book. Especially useful are backgrounds in sociology, economics, history, political science, or philosophy.

Computers and computer technology have become a central part of our lives, and there is every indication that their influence will continue to expand into the future. This book presents an introduction to computers and their place in society. The intent of the book is not to give a thorough explanation of hardware and software, but to explain the mechanical aspects of computers so as to foster an understanding of how computers are used, how they may be used in the future, and how their use affects society. More importantly, this book examines the legal, ethical, economic, and psychological questions surrounding the increasing use of computers.

This anthology demonstrates the astonishing challenge, cultural complexity, and urgency of social impacts of computers. The papers stem from a decade of work sponsored by the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP), organized by the IFIP Committee on Computer Relationships with Society (TC9). The key goals of this collection are: firstly, to reach a broader audience of the educated public world-wide on the massive socio-economic impacts of computers; secondly, to provide an authoritative, diversified sampling of international research and contributions in this area for scholars and advanced students; thirdly, to discuss action-oriented human choice at local, national and international levels in planning, designing, developing and using computer-based information systems; and, fourthly, to encourage talented professionals in the various disciplines that contribute to social consequences of computers to support new IFIP TC9 ventures and objectives for the worldwide community. The anthology draws on authors from almost 40 countries around the world, representing a diversity of philosophies. The topics cover a wide range of areas, including: politics and democracy, national economic policies, the quality of working life, individual and group privacy, information power in bureaucracies, philosophical and psychological impacts of computers, international telecommunications, and computers in national defense and in mass communication media. The format followed in the text includes editorial comments providing a short overview of each conference and a brief description of each of the papers, which will assist the reader in identifying key themes and finding his area of interest.

It explores ways in which the use of methodology from economics and social sciences contributes to important advances in understanding these impacts. The book discusses significant research issues and concerns and suggests approaches for fostering increased interdisciplinary research on the impacts of information technology and making the results of this research more accessible to the public and policymakers. This volume is expected to influence funding priorities and levels of support for interdisciplinary research of this kind.
