The article advocates for the need of involving the users in applications software development. This need has arisen because although extensive software packages have been developed for such applications as statistical analysis, the user is usually required to communicate with the computer through an arbitrary system of control cards developed by computer specialists. Problems created by these origins include user acceptance of an alien operating environment and mastery of control card language.
