The computer age and the White Man's burden

Abstract

The Computer Age is nearly upon us. That's when the ordinary worker and householder find that they have to use a computer regularly during the course of their day. Making the Computer Age a reality has been, and continues to be, another White Man's Burden. The White Man, in this case, is not necessarily white or male, but his burden is as real to him now as it was to the Victorian Englishman.
