The precise, orderly steps of logic required to use and program the machines promise to shape-and sharpen-the thought processes of the computer generation. Indeed, the youngsters playing all those strategy games are doing precisely what corporations do when they plan to launch a new product or what military leaders do when they devise strategies to confront a potential...
