Understanding Computers and Cognition by Terry Winograd Book PDF Summary
This book is about the design of computer technology. It it, we look closely at computers as they exist today and we set out new directions for future development. This discourse presented here, however, is not what one would expect to find in a book of science and engineering. It moves among topics and purposes that appear to be worlds apart: it is both theoretical and practical; it is concerned with computer technology and with the nature of human existence; with the philosophy of language with office automation.
