The space age is here. The Cold War is over. The U.S. economy has shifted from manufacturing to services and information. Computers are not in every house yet, but are in many. They are in every school and business in the U.S. Banking, Finance, and Securities industries have been revolutionized by computers, as have design, newspapers, engineering, and architecture.
Most manufacturing plants are computer controlled.
Cars, VCR's, etc. are manufactured with computer controlled robots.
