Humanising the computer.
Many well-intentioned and potentially useful data handling computer systems fail to realise their potential because inadequate effort has been made to humanise the computer/operator interface. Programs are usually written by people who are logical thinkers, enjoy working with computers and who find satisfaction in writing their programs. Unfortunately those same programs often have to be used by people who are illogical, who fear computers and loathe having to work with them. Some suggestions for humanising the computer/operator interaction are made.
