SCS History Book: Computer Science Reviews

"At Carnegie, everything was always very simple. We never really came across groups that were hostile to the computer or reluctant to apply it. Everybody at Carnegie accepted the value of a computer in their work. The only differences between one group and another was the rate at which the computer was applied in their work, or the excellence with which it was applied, or the insight that they showed in the use of the computer. But there was never hostility.

I've taken it for granted that computing is central and valuable and that its impact is going to continue grow. I've taken that for granted. I haven't had to sell anybody that idea."

--An Interview with Alan J. Perlis, 1977
