Dimensions of text processing

Published:05 December 1972Publication History

ABSTRACT

Numerical data processing has dominated the computing industry from its earliest days, when computing might better have been called a craft than an industry. In those early days it was not uncommon for a mixed group of scientists and technicians to spend an entire day persuading a roomful of vacuum tubes and mechanical relays to yield up a few thousand elementary operations on numbers. The emphasis on numerical applications was a wholly natural consequence of the dominant interests of the men and women who designed, built, and operated those early computing machines.
