automation, meaning the computer, and that’s 
what computer meant in the early ’60s.

In 1962 or ’63, computers meant automating 
production. Well, since then computers had done a 
whole lot of things. They moved into the space 
effort, and the Rand Corporation had a lot to do 
with putting men in space, and men on the moon. 
So there was the whole new thing of computers. 
Satellites had taken off. 1957 was the first satellite, 
the first Russian Cosmos. And this was now seven, 
eight, ten years later. Good heavens.
