Inhaltsangabe

The authors risk being labelled as Luddites in challenging the "computer literacy" programmes devised largely by the government and directed at education in a bid to equip the young for the future and rescue the economy from recession. The text critically examines the substance of claims that the educational system has an anti-business bias and that computer literacy is the panacea for Britain's economic problems. The relationship that has developed between education, industry and technology is explored; attention is drawn to the political obsessions and illusions that lie behind this new orthodoxy and the possible alternatives are discussed.
