Computer currency

Published: 01 August 1978 Publication History

Abstract

The notion of continuing education is nowhere more relevant than in the computer context. The fact that many top managers completed their formal education before computer topics were a part of most university curricula, coupled with the elemental changes that have transformed our industry for even those computer specialists who completed their education a few years ago, make continuing education for “computer currency” a very real need.
A continual passing from hand to hand of computer knowledge is essential if we are to deal with technology in a timely way. Understanding of computer concepts can be a medium of exchange with real financial value in our technologically oriented society; in other words, a money type of currency.
