Roberto Busa, S.J., and the Emergence of Humanities Computing: The Priest and the Punched Cards, written by Steven E. Jones
Roberto Busa (1913Busa ( -2011) ) was a Jesuit scholar who spent much of his adult life leading a project to compile a concordance of the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, initially using punched cards and tabulating equipment, later on electronic computers supplied by the ibm Corporation.The 56-volume Index Thomisticus was the culmination of that effort; it is now available on the web as a subset of the Corpus Thomisticum, at http://www.corpusthomist…

Transforming Computer Technology: Information Processing for the Pentagon, 1962-1986
From the Publisher: In the explosively changing world of computer technology, massive funding and large-scale enterprise have become givens, and probably no single actor has had a greater influence on computer research and development than the U.S. Department of Defense. R&D programs of the Pentagon's Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) transformed computing from a cumbersome enterprise based on batch processing to the instantly inter…

From scientific instrument to everyday appliance: The emergence of personal computers, 1970–77
In a technology whose history seems always to be characterized by a series of “revolutions,” the invention of the personal computer in the mid‐1970s seems the greatest of all. This paper examines to what extent the PC was “merely” a result of advances in semiconductor technology, or whether it was the result of a conscious effort by actors to effect a social transformation of computing. It looks first from the top down, as a small group of people…
