- - W i FUTURETIC Camputer tEchnDiagg tahes Dver saciEtg ■ FLAKING OFF? Punching away at an electronic football game during class time is Mildred Miller. INTENSE CONCENTRATION: Tom Winslow and Collin Water- son pay strict attention to fhe controls of their starship during the game ' Scramble. Today ' s views of the future are reminiscent of Star Wars. As computers take over menial, laborous jobs, students flocl to tlie local pizza parlors to play the entertaining versions of the computer in Space Invaders and Asteroids. Someday, IHS will have programmers instead of teachers who are governed by a central pro- cessing unit. Students will seek counsel from problem analysts while a preventive maintenance unit tidies up the campus. Kids find- ing themselves shoving books and program ming assignments into external storage bins will be subjected to information overloading the night before finals. Tardy and mischevious pupils will be sent to the storage cell for debugging and be required to carry identification se- quences during the school year. As a society developed a dependance on com- puters, much like the dependance on the energy that runs them, new visions for the future computer-skilled workers appear. Use of a computer for many jobs opened up new courses in the art of programmng and operation. At the Center for Basic Learning Skills in Costa Mesa and the computer lab at IHS, Irvine students learned the techniques of computer programming while being tutored and advancing new academic skills. Computers could also be found in the office completing everything from student attendance records to managing the financial budget. Our own Innervisions of the future open up new doors to the world of technology and advance us closer to the goals set for the years ahead. Innervisions
