LAW REVIEW ARTICLES

4 COLUMBIA HUMAN RIGHTS REVIEW (No. 1) (1972)

Sherwood Anderson wrote words about America as true today as they were in the third decade of this century:

America ain't cemented and plastered yet. They're still
building it. ... All America asks is to look at it and listen
to it and understand it if you can. Only the understanding
ain't important either; the important thing is to believe in
it even if you don't understand it, and then try to tell it,
put it down. Because tomorrow America is going to be
something different, something more and new to watch and
listen to and try to understand; and, even if you can't
understand, believe.

Anyone seeking to understand contemporary America must deal with our national experience with computer technology. They must understand that it has become an essential tool in the "cementing and plastering" of our nation. They must understand that it has at once presented our country its greatest hope and its greatest challenge; keeping faith with our historical heritage and commitment to freedom, while enjoying the fruits of a rich industrialized society under a democratic constitution.

Throughout our nation the people involved with computer technology have charge of a great national resource which will affect the course of our economic and social progress. More important, insofar as it affects the exercise of governmental power and the power of large special interest groups, the new technology may help determine the course of freedom and human rights in our land.

* U.S. Senator, North Carolina.
