What Computers Can Do: A Guide for the Plain Man

---

TODAY we live in a world of incredible teurpagical complexity. The machine, man's mechanical curacle, is slowly and surely taking the drudgery and labour out of even the most menial of tasks. Such machines are simple. The man using one knows how it works, why it works and what it is supposed to do.
This book is about a special kind of machine. A machine so complex that only a few highly trained men can efficiently operate it. Yet it is a machine that impinges on all our lives and in years to come will probably become an integral part of them. It is called a computer, and is probably the least understood of all machines.
As its name implies, its task is to compute—to assimilate data of various kinds, digest it. and eventually to disgorge it as a logical answer. A man can do whatever a computer can do, but a computer can do it much faster. A computer can work out in seconds a problem which might take a man years to work out.
