1. The purpose of this book -- 2. System, system analyst, programmers, operation staff, and the computer -- 3. Computer-based systems categorized by speed of response. slow response systems -- 4. Medium-response computer-based systems -- 5. Rapid-response computer-based systems -- 6. Trends: databases, CAD, Minis and micros, ultra-fast systems, systems in the home -- 7. Wider issues: ethics, metaphysics and what the reader should do about computers.
This book is not the place to embark on philosophy or sociology, but as we look at the various systems we should perhaps ask ourselves what the implications are.
