- W283638126 abstract "Computers are now perceived as a required resource by business, education, and government, as well as in personal life. The rates of adoption of information technologies among these groups (business, education, government, family/individual) have varied, which may have created knowledge gaps. Based on the data collected from a telephone survey in a Midwest city and interviews with recent communication major college graduates, a study focused on the analysis of the between the prospective employers and the communication major college graduates. Although the quantitative data do not show a gap of computer skills perceived by the majority of the companies surveyed, the gap is found in an indirect way which has been experienced by many communication major alumni. It is described as: literate people get better jobs. Diffusion of innovation concept and models are employed to discuss the findings. Finally, adding a basic computer class as a required course onto undergraduate curricula is recommended. (Contains 21 references; a sample telephone survey, interview questions, and two charts showing relevant data are appended.)
