- There is a problem with computers. They aren't refrigerators or cars...you need to acquire expertise
- to use them effectively.
-
- There has been no gain in office productivity in the last decade (see my Open Channel column in IEEE
- Computer, May, 1992 for more information). A reason for the lack of productivity is:
- 1) people don't realize they need to acquire expertise (not programmers!! computer users...)
- 2) people don't use Unix (Unix can be anything you want...if Rob you don't like something,
- change it.
-
- The biggest problem is many people don't recognize the level of expertise that is required...
