ABSTRACT
"In a rapidly changing technology such as ADP, personnel resources, in the absence of intensive training, tend to become obsolescent at the same rate as hardware resources, and a major effort is required to keep a staff current and competent." This conclusion was recorded by a 14 member panel appointed by President Nixon to recommend improvements in the Data Processing activities of the Department of Defense. It is particularly interesting to note that this statement was one of the panel's main recommendations as cited by Information Week (8/3/70), and COMPUTER-WORLD (8/19/70). The significance, of course, is that training costs are finally being classified along with hardware costs and we may at last be somewhere near the threshold of putting some order to the existing chaos of Data Processing education.
