Abstract :
The modern digital computer is rapidly permeating all areas of our highly industrialized society-from agriculture to education-from process control to zoology. Printing and publishing and allied fields involved in graphic communications have been changing rapidly in this decade as the digital computer and associated peripheral devices have made rapid inroads in the graphic communications process. This paper describes the nature of the impact which the digital computer has had, and is making, upon today´s graphic communications, particularly upon the editing and composition functions. A prediction of future impact is also presented.
