- Summary
- COI synopsis: This issue looks at a few new ways of managing the increasingly complex problems of modern life. Computer simulations, for instance, show how to cope with the complexity of planning a modern airport and designing a motorway: but coping with complexity doesn’t always involve computers... Learning to read is a complexity which some children never really master. Now, by learning to type, they’re teaching themselves to read almost without realising it.
