Discusses computer's only incapacity —to select (except randomly). Suggests use of computer and line-printer as "versatile multiple copying device." Discusses computer sorting: alphabetic, lemmatization, and separation of homographs; OCRs, and costs of computer use.] -----. "The Literary Uses of Computers."
