Implications of Modern Computer Display Technology.
Abstract
Advances in computing has come from improvements in integrated circuits and improvements in our ability to produce complex software systems. Display technology has reached the point where it is possible to display almost anything the human mind can conceive. Installation of complex computing machines changes the nature of the organization it serves, thus it is difficult to establish in advance clear specifications. The increasing complexity of computing equipment will ultimately force a change in Navy procurement procedures. Operating units of the Fleet will have to be given greater control over the specification and modification of the equipment they operate. Careful consideration needs to be given to how the specifications for complex computing devices are written, and those who use the devices need to have a say in the process.
