I'm one man began been plagued by a limited ability to
accurately predict the effect in the country posed action.
Thanks.
This is the result of his not being able to consider
and relate all the factors in a problem evidence of this inability
can be seen in the persistence of a certain kind of myth involving freeways
in a frantic effort to reap immediate reward the first way is often to
why the second usually ends to
overcorrect our hero
and consider him self lucky if after the last wave he ends up just where he started
but there were men who which is were not only prudent.
But had a habit of coming true.
These men and women were artists and had certain characteristics in common.
They were seldom bored with
and they were constantly building up stores of information in active memory
but
when confronted with a specific meaning they would call on these memory banks.
Which they would run through to the
mechanic
and they are conscious
and the degree to which it is operative bright
super bright numbers were
but the values
were given
such measurement was an enormous learning
problem.
But the magnitude of the calculations in such relationship.
In the world of numbers
something that might make.
Even our most elegant theories were the reason
chronic calculator has already become a tool upon which much of our daily
activities which is broaden the
range of man's concepts and intuition.
Much the way other tools to broaden range of communication
or the phenomenal range of his control over.
With the computer as with any two. The concept.
Direction must come from the man.
A task that is said and the data
that is given is responsibility.
This is information the proper use of it.
Bring a new dignity properly related.
It can maintain a balance between man
and his resource information
machine capable of storing processing
and relating a vast quantity of information a process information
can be made meaningful computers are generally
first as a control
or about as a function of design
third as a simulation
or model of life where we can see the effect before taking action
or control or balance the calculator.
Keeps our complicated system functioning determines the logistics of raw material
inventory and history and performance of tools
and of personnel production rate
and quality public utilities rates
and low cost accounting ramifications
of the broadest possible
as a function of design the calculator provides creative man a higher platform upon
which to and from which the data processing the drudgery.
But imposes broad responsibilities the designer must be able to state
precisely what it needs to know this is not always so easy.
He must formulate a general plan a procedure this plan
or program takes the greater part of all the time involved.
He must write a concise step by step list of instructions translated into a did
just above code
and feed it to the computer then he must provide the machine with all pertinent
background information
and related data the preparation may have taken months
actual calculation hours or even minutes. But once set up.
It can attack the problem with infinite variation trustworthy memory.
Perhaps the most challenging use of the computer is the simulation of real
situation. If for example a machine is.
Properly programmed is provided with sufficient data concerning a chemical plant
a computer begins to take functions of a working mathematical model of
that chemical plant in which it is part of many
possible courses of.
Today there are working mathematical models of railroad system rocket engines
complete reactor living community.
The calculator is helping to define the most complicated problem.
It is a tool for turning inspiration into fruitful production as an information
machine done much to broaden the base of our growing concepts.
But the real miracle is the promise
that there will also be room for those smallest details
that have been the basis for man's most rewarding.
This is a story of a technique in the service of man.
