    Social and Professional Issues in IT Pioneers of Computing Pioneers of Computing Many scientist and engineers have contributed in the development of computing science. This chapter covers all the major scientists and their works, who have played a significant role in the development of computing. Some of the major Pioneers of Computing and their contributions are described here Aristotle (384 BC, Stagira, Greece, 322 BC, Athens, Greece) He was one of the greatest ancient Greek philosophers of his time. Many of his thoughts have become the back bone of computing and artificial Intelligence. His work in the natural and social sciences greatly influenced virtually every area of modern thinking. Biography Aristotle was born in 384 BC in Stagira, on the northwest coast of the Aegean Sea. His father was a friend and the physician of the king of Macedonia, and the lad spent most of his boyhood at the court. At 17, he went to Athens to study. He enrolled at the famous Academy directed by the philosopher Plato. Aristotle threw himself wholeheartedly into Plato's pursuit of truth and goodness. Plato was soon calling him the "mind of the school." Aristotle stayed at the Academy for 20 years, leaving only when his beloved master died in 347 BC. In later years he renounced some of Plato's theories and went far beyond him in breadth of knowledge. Aristotle became a teacher in a school on the coast of Asia Minor. He spent two years studying marine biology on Lesbos. In 342 BC, Philip II invited Aristotle to return to the Macedonian court and teach his 13-year-old son Alexander.

We had raised $90 million dollars in investments in our first nine months of operation, August of 1986 to June of 1987. One of my clients was Reginald Pattey and his wife. Reg was an executive for RCA Corporation, which later became Burhle Industries. Reg had informed me that Harold Krall was forming a new company, which was later named Cardinal Technologies, and asked me to see if there was an opportunity for me to fund the start-up. Now, also in the mix was a close college friend of mine named Tom Circe, who had taken over his father's position as Director of Personnel at RCA. Now, of course it never came to fruition because of me blowing the whistle on International Signal and Control, or ISC in June of 1987. Fast forward to the beginning of Advanced Media Group and my work at American Helix at 1857 Colonial Village Lane, Lancaster, PA, or Dale High's Greenfield Industrial Park. For the record, American Helix was funded through my company Financial Management Group, Ltd., when Dave Deering solicited Scott Robertson for financing for American Helix after a deal with an Angel Investor fell through.

Vom Panorama zu 360°-Filmsystemen Von Lucas Piccolin Die Idee, Zuschauer in einem unbegrenzten Sehfeld ein totales visuelles Erlebnis zu vermitteln, ist älter als das Kino selbst – sie stammt aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, wo sie in gemalten Großpanoramen als Massenmedium weltweite Verbreitung und große Popularität fand. Ende Januar 1788 präsentierte Robert Baker in Edinburgh erstmals eine realistische Abbildung der schottischen Hauptstadt als 360° Rundbild. Die entscheidenden Kriterien für die Wirkung von Panoramabildern auf Betrachter – ein möglichst genaues Abbild der Realität zu liefern – wurden von Baker in der dazugehörigen Patentschrift bereits alle festgehalten. Neben der realistischen Darstellung und Aspekten der Maltechnik solcher Bilder waren technische Aspekte der Präsentation (beispielsweise Konstruktion von Panorama-Rotunden mit zentraler Besucherplattform im richtigen Abstand zum Bild, Abdecken der Ober- /Unterkante des Bildes sowie indirekte Lichtführung für die Wirkung des Bildes) gleichermaßen von Bedeutung. Der Begriff Panorama (griech. pan = alles, hormam = das Sehen) wurde erst ein paar Jahre später in der Presse für Bakers Attraktion kreiert. Bakers Erfindung fiel auf fruchtbaren Boden. Die großen politischen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert ließen in den großen europäischen Metropolen ein wachsendes Bedürfnis nach Unterhaltung entstehen, während gleichzeitig Unternehmer Anlagemöglichkeiten für freies Kapital suchten.
