  abstract =     "The IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown,
                 New York, has experienced a factor of twenty times
                 increase in the past ten years in the amount of time
                 its people spend using computers interactively in their
                 work. This is twice the penetration rate of television
                 in the 1950s. A similar degree of penetration is
                 expected to happen in the rest of industry in the next
                 ten years. That will mean a major departure from
                 traditional data processing, with computers being used
                 as tools to augment the users' abilities in all phases
                 of their work. Examples of human augmentation, as seen
                 in the work of several researchers, are offered in this
                 paper. The integration of large numbers of personal
                 workstations into this environment has given us new
                 understanding of how to work. The causes, impediments,
                 and consequences of these changes are described, with
                 emphasis on human requirements for bandwidth, response
                 time, tools, on-line storage, and computing capacity.",
