Najbardziej lapidarna ocena dotychczasowego rozwoju informatyki może zawierać następujące wnioski. i 1. Od setek lat prace nad doskonaleniem prowadzenia obliczeń i in­ formowania znajdują się w centrum zainteresowań intelektualnych i nie­ wątpliwie nie widać obecnie i prawdopodobnie w przyszłości najmniej­ szych oznak nasycenia potrzeb i wygaśnięcia zainteresowania. 2. Technika (w tym technologia) obliczeniowa jest wiodąca dla in- , nych technik. 3. Systemy informatyczne wnoszą poważne zmiany w mechanizmie funkcjonowania ogniw, jak i całego społeczeństwa (por. „elektroniczne pieniądze", karty kredytowe), przy czym per saldo nie wprowadzają bez­ robocia. ' 4. Rozwój informatyki jest kosztowny, wymaga 'wysokich nakładów oraz obfituje w marnotrawstwo: koncepcji, wysiłku ludzkiego, projektów, przedsięwzięć, środków — 'wynikające zwykle z nie w porę podjętych akcji. Z tych paru ogólnych wniosków wynika, że badania nad rozwojem informatyki są konieczne, by narzędzie i usługi, czym jest informatyka.— były właściwie wykorzystywane. 2.2. Ważniejsze osiągnięcia informatyki w zakresie koncepcji i teorii inf orm aty czny ch Zwykle potrzeby rodzą koncepcje, teorie, a nawet wynalazki. W informa­ tyce można również odnotować tę prawidłowość, chociaż wiele koncepcji i teorii wyprzedzało aktualne potrzeby. Rozwój historyczny informatyki będziemy dalej analizowali posługując się oceną: potrzeb, koncepcji, teorii i ich wzajemnego przenikania. W rozwoju informatyki technicznej można wyróżnić grupy proble­ mowe 2 pod następującymi nazwami: urządzenia rachujące (UR), maszyny rachujące (MR), maszyny kalkulacyjne (MK), maszyny statystyczne (MS), maszyny statystyczno-kalkulacyjne, zwane również maszynami licząco- 2 W celu podkreślenia, że nie' pokrywają się one z działami informatyki.

S., A. M. * * * * The Ohio State University 1959 Approved by Adviser Department of Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The writer owes a special debt of gratitude to Doctors J. Marshall Hanna and Charles B. Hicks for their guidance, counsel, and inspiration in the general direction of the writer's doctoral program as well as the writing of this study. The writer is also greatly indebted to the members of the Advisory Committee, Doctors Hugh Laughlin, William Logan, and Daniel Shonting for the many hours of time spent in guiding the organization, writing, and evaluation of this study. The assistance in revising the questionnaire given by Doctors Arvid W. Jacobson of Wayne University, John W. Carr, III of the Uni­ versity of Michigan, E. W. Martin of Indiana University, Leon R. Hay of San Jose State College, and George A. Wagoner of the University of Tennessee is greatly appreciated. The writer also wishes to express his gratitude to the many respondents for providing the data for this study. Their letters and comments supplementing the questionnaire are especially appreciated. Special thanks are due Messrs. Hoot Gibson and Paul Haefner of International Business Machines for their help with the survey and in organizing an introductory computer course for Western Michigan University. Finally, this study is dedicated to my wife, Elizabeth, whose encouragement, patience, and cooperation made it all possible.

  • Computer Oral History Collection, 1969-1973, 1977 Interviewee
    Computer Oral History Collection, 1969-1973, 1977 Interviewee: Forman Acton Interviewer: Richard R. Mertz Date: January 21, 1971 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 48 pp. Abstract: Forman Acton, born in 1920, completed a degree in chemical engineering at Princeton in 1944, spent the rest of World War II in the U.S. Army's engineering detachment at Oak Ridge, and then earned a doctorate in applied mathematics at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, working especially with J.L. Synge and Albert Heins. He took an early interest in communicating engineering problems to digital computers. After graduation, Acton spent three years at the U.S. National Bureau of Standard's Institute for Numerical Analysis at the University of California at Los Angeles. There he taught numerical analysis and developed programming for the SWAC, then under construction. In 1952 Acton returned to Princeton to direct the weapons systems analysis group and teach courses in the Mathematics Department. Four years later he joined the faculty of the Princeton Electrical Engineering Department, where he remained for the rest of his career. In Los Angeles Acton made extensive use of the first Card Programmed Calculator; back at Princeton he used Model II of the CPC. He also comments on the LAS computer, both as it was developed by von Neumann and as it was later used in the electrical engineering department. Another machine discussed at some length is the IBM 650, the first commercial computer purchased by Princeton. Acton refers to numerous contemporaries, especially J. Curtiss, J.B. Rosser, A.
