Report No. 112745
Subject
Summary:

The Federal Government became a large user of computers because of increases in Government services, population growth, and concern for efficiency and effectiveness. The development and widespread use of computers in Government operations has been a giant step forward in man's use of a new technology as a means to progress and development of his knowledge. One of the effects of the Government's usage of computers has been to increase Government services without large increases in total costs. However, the most pervasive effects of computers on Federal operations have been the changes in ways and methods which have become necessary to take full advantage of a whole set of new technological capabilities. But with great benefits have come corresponding risks. The Government is still faced with some pressing issues arising from its use. The Government needs safeguards against misuse of computerized data and must resolve concerns about privacy, security, and better use of computers. Additionally, better management, control, and training of personnel in the use of computer resources are essential.
