✦ Synopsis

Computer science has drawn from and contributed to many disciplines and practices since it emerged as a field in the middle of the 20th century. Those interactions, in turn, have contributed to the evolution of information technology - new forms of computing and communications, and new applications - that continue to develop from the creative interactions between computer science and other fields. "Beyond Productivity" argues that, at the beginning of the 21st century, information technology (IT) is forming a powerful alliance with creative practices in the arts and design to establish the exciting new, domain of information technology and creative practices - ITCP. There are major benefits to be gained from encouraging, supporting, and strategically investing in this domain.
