Research is underway for a television documentary on the impact of computers on society, particularly their effect on the English language. We would be interested in the response of net users to the following question. Which of the following is of greater concern to you: a) assessing and reducing undesirable effects of expanding computer technology on society, or b) teaching the general population how to take advantage of expanding computer technology? Please \mail/ replies directly to me (keeping them brief if possible). If your opinions are supported by some journal article or eminent computer professional, references would be very helpful. Any and all replies are welcome. Results will be posted to net.followup. Thank you for your time. Burton Patkau ...!decvax!utzoo!utcsrgv!burt
