  abstract =     "Universities are often criticized for being too
                 academic --- too far removed from society's real
                 problems. One reason for this remoteness is the
                 academic preoccupation with analysis, despite the fact
                 that the solution to many practical problems requires
                 synthesis or invention. Another reason --- and this is
                 the one I want to discuss --- is that faculties in
                 science and engineering by and large are interested in
                 the science of technology, and devote little or no time
                 to teaching the economics of technology. The problem is
                 a general one and I believe it deserves attention by
                 all scientific and engineering faculties of the
                 university (?). It is particularly important in the
                 computer field, where growth and change are the norm,
                 and where we all must be careful, in making decisions,
                 to take into account trends and directions in the
                 economics of data processing. I propose a course
                 entitled ``Data Processing Technology and Economics''
                 as a solution to the problems described above, and in
                 this paper I will describe the course, which is based
                 on a textbook I have been preparing for the past
                 several years. The course has been taught twice: at
                 Harvard University in the Fall Semester 1974---1975;
                 and at the University of Sydney, in Australia, in the
                 Michaelmas Term, 1975. However, before describing the
                 course in detail, I would like to explain, with the
                 help of some examples, why I believe this subject is
                 important to the student of Computer Science.",
