Abstract
- Urges sociologists to direct more attention toward computer usage because of computers' increasing importance in producing sociological knowledge. Criticizes professional ambivalence toward computer technology as inhibiting creative software development and adequate training of sociologists in computer methods. Concludes that sociology's ambivalence toward computers threatens the profession's ability to keep up in research and scholarship. (DK)
