WILL IT MEAN MORE EMPLOYMENT- OR MASSIVE LAY-OFFS?

These are but a few of the questions spawned by the microelectronics revolution and brilliantly explored in studies commissioned by the prestigious Club of Rome. An illuminating report, MICROELECTRONICS AND SOCIETY is destined to have as major an impact on our thinking and planning today as The Limits to Growth did a decade ago.
