Comm v.s. Calc

-- part contents for background part 12
----- text -----

Computers are becoming less and less about calculating and more and more about communicating. This is currently true in business uses of computers (desk-top publishing and presentations are taking over from spreadsheets (which mostly calculate numbers to put in a report and show to someone anyway)). And it's starting to be true in games, where it's much more fun to play against a human opponent than against the computer.

I believe this to be a very positive movement, for the computer industry, computerists, and mankind as a whole. My hope is that an easy-to-use BBS will push this movement forward even faster. Someday we'll all have BBSs.
