- A few days ago I asked if anyone had a book abou the computer industry's effects
- on the economy, and got a response back suggesting "Computers in the Human
- Context" (I think that's the title). Anyways, I bought the book and have been
- reading it, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.
-
- I'm looking for a book with more "statistics". How many people are employed? What
- percent of the GNP is based on high-tech industries, etc. Does anyone have any
- suggestions?
-
- In addition, I found a lot of the articles to be rather negative.
