CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In recent years the term "computer literacy" has
become more and more prevalent, and the teaching of
computer literacy is now an important issue in the
educational field. The educational system's focus on
computer literacy, and the idea that every student should
become computer literate, has affected virtually every
level of education. In addition, computer literacy has
become extremely important in the business world.
Practically every business or educational publication has
had some article or reference in recent issues concerning
computer literacy.
The U.S. economy has rapidly progressed from a
production oriented economy, to a service oriented one in
which information technology has become a primary
component. With transition to an information society has
come a greater need for computer literacy and a greater
burden on the educational system to make society computer
literate. The first question that comes to mind is what
does "computer literate" mean? Since International
Business Machines introduction of the microcomputer in
1981, society has been affected by the spread of personal
computers (Barnes 1986, 311) .
