Technology in the Office 2: Frontiers and Barriers

Susan Curran and Horace Mitchell

Chapter 7 in Office Automation, 1982, pp 102-122 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The development of microelectronics and associated new technologies has come so far, so fast, that in a purely technical sense it is now true to say that almost anything is possible. If we can define our requirements precisely (admittedly a major limitation) we can almost certainly design a machine to meet them. Indeed, one of the easiest ways to be proved wrong is to say that ‘such and such a development won’t happen for so and so years’ — some unkind firm will almost certainly announce it within weeks
