Analog computing, a class of computing machinery that encouraged an experiment-oriented relationship between human and computer, was abandoned in favor of digital computing because of general trends and preferences within the field of computer science. The author examines the analog computer's perception within the ACM as digital technology became more established, focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2007 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
