On-line man-computer communication

On-line man-computer communication requires much development before men and computers can work together effectively in formulative thinking and intuitive problem solving. This paper examines some of the directions in which advances can be made and describes on-going programs that seek to improve man-machine interaction in teaching and learning, in planning and design, and in visualizing the internal processes of computers. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of basic problems involved in improving man-computer communication.
